Mon Nov 04 04:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Pensioners Urged to Submit Life Certificates Before November 30th
**New Delhi, November 1:** All central government pensioners must submit an annual life certificate to continue receiving their pension. The submission window opened today, November 1st, for pensioners under the age of 80.
The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) has launched its third nationwide digital life certificate (DLC) campaign from November 1st to November 30th. Pensioners can submit the certificate directly to banks, post offices, or other designated locations.
The deadline for submission is November 30th. Pension payments will be discontinued starting in December for those who fail to submit their certificates.
However, payments will resume once the life certificate is submitted.
Super senior citizens (aged 80 and above) were granted an extended submission window, starting October 1st with the same November 30th deadline. This is a change from previous years, when the submission window for all pensioners opened in November.
The DoPPW has encouraged pensioners to utilize the digital life certificate (DLC) system, which is available at post offices across 800 cities and districts. On the first day of the campaign, over 1.8 lakh pensioners generated their DLCs.
**Pensioners are advised to submit their life certificates before the deadline to ensure continued pension payments.**
