In a relief to lakhs of EPFO pensioners, the last date for submitting their Jeevan Pramaan Patra has been extended to February 28, 2021. Not just that, they can now submit their Life Certificate digitally. Instead of visiting the office of disbursing agency for physical submission of life certificate, they can now use the Aadhaar enabled biometric authentication mechanism to generate DLC.
Earlier, the deadline for submission of Life Certificate was extended to December 31, in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The deadline for the submission has always been November 30, but the Centre decided to give the pensioners an extra window of 31 days to present their Jeevan Pramaan Patra.
