Generating Digital Life Certificate (DLC) for Pensioners through India Post Payments Bank (IPPB)

Pensioners in India are required to submit a Digital Life Certificate (DLC) annually to receive their pension without any disruptions. The India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) offers a convenient and assisted mode for pensioners to generate their DLC, utilizing the vast postal network of the Department of Posts (DoP).

Process for Generating DLC:

2. Biometrically Enabled Service: Pensioners can generate the DLC using the Aadhaar-enabled biometric identification system, eliminating the need to visit the disbursing agency’s office.

3. Fee for Generating DLC: A nominal fee of Rs. 70 (inclusive of GST/CESS) is charged for every successful generation of the DLC.

4. Availability for IPPB and Non-IPPB Customers: The DLC service is available for both IPPB and non-IPPB customers.

Customers can contact the nearest post office or request a doorstep visit by the postman/Grameen Dak Sevak to avail the DLC service. The Department of Posts has enabled scheduling of doorstep requests through the Post Info app or the website “http://ccc.cept.gov.in/covid/request.aspx” to book a doorstep request through India Post.

6. Issuance of DLC: The process of generating the DLC is completely paperless, seamless, and hassle-free, and the certificate is generated instantly. Upon successful completion, a Pramaan ID is generated and shared with the pensioner by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).

The Aadhaar number should be registered with the pension disbursing agency (bank/post office, etc.).

Pensioners should keep the following details handy:
