Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare has taken a landmark step to make life easier for senior citizens to submit their Annual Life Certificate for continued pension. The centre has asked banks to collect annual life certificates of its Pensioners from their doorsteps, saving them from hassles of visiting pension disbursing banks. An amount not more than Rs 60 will be charged for the service. Pensioners are required to give proof of them being alive to banks every year in order to ensure continued pension.
