Please refer to paras 6.8 to 6.11 of the Master Circular on pension, wherein every pensioner, family pensioner and ex-gratia recipient has to submit life certificate/declaration of marital status in the month of November each year. In case of non-receipt of life certificate /declaration by November end, monthly payment of pensions stopped from the month of December and pension payment restarts only after receipt of the life certificate from the pensioners.

2. Taking into account the pandemic situation, it has been decided to allow pensioners, family pensioners, ex-gratia recipients to submit scanned copy of signed life certificates/declaration of marital status in the prescribed format through email to the respective Pension Cells from where pension is being drawn. Further, it is has been decided to extend the time-limit for submitting the same upto December 31, 2020. The extension of time limit as above is applicable only for this year due to the prevailing pandemic situation. The existing system of accepting life certificates/declaration of marital status through post/personally/Jeevan Pramaan continues to remain unchanged.

Yours faithfully
