Jeevan Pramaan

Jeevan Pramaan is a Life Certificate program affiliated with Aadhaar for people with pensions.[1] It was started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 10 November 2014.[2][3]

The certificate was made for people who receive pensions from central or state governments or other government organisations.[1]

Jeevan Pramaan was made by the Department of Electronics and IT, Government of India.[4][5][6][7]

The Jeevan Pramaan software can be downloaded from https://jeevanpramaan.gov.in/ for both PC and Android devices. Alternatively this process can be carried out at one of the many Jeevan Pramaan Centres. An electronic Jeevan Praaman certificate can be obtained by a pension beneficiary using this software with a fingerprint or iris scan, using the Aadhaar platform for authentication. The certificate can then be made available electronically to the Pension Disbursing Agency.[1]

Eastern Railway launched a Jeevan Pramaan Centre to facilitate the pensioners at Zonal Headquarter at Fairlie Place, Kolkata on 6 August 2015. The service will be extended to additional divisions, workshops and other major establishments under the jurisdiction of Eastern Railway.
