In the current scenario of COVID 19, besides the prevailing procedure for submission of Life Certificate, it has been decided by the Competent Authority that
(1) The pensioners may send the Life Certificate duly certified by an authorised person mentioned above by e-mail to the concerned pension disbursing office.
(2) In those cases where the pensioner does not have access to e-mail, he may himself or through his representative, contact the concerned disbursement office. The officials in the pension disbursement office may then at a predetermined time proceed for verification through video call to the pensioner and keep a record of the same in the pension file.
