Special focus is being given to super senior and differently-abled pensioners through India Post Payments Bank’s doorstep DLC service.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his Mann Ki Baat address (24 November 2024) and Constitution Day address (26 November 2024), highlighted how Digital India initiatives like the Digital Life Certificate have simplified the pension process for senior citizens across the country.
As part of the nationwide campaign, Director Divya AB will visit the DLC Camps at Dehradun on 20 November to oversee the arrangements and interact with pensioners availing the DLC facility through Face Authentication and doorstep services. The officer will review coordination between Banks, India Post Payments Bank (DoP), UIDAI, NIC and local Pensioners’ Welfare Associations to ensure smooth functioning of the camps.
The campaign will bring together all major stakeholders including Banks, India Post Payments Bank, UIDAI, MeitY, NIC, CGDA, Railways and Pensioners’ Welfare Associations to work collaboratively for achieving digital inclusion of pensioners. The NIC DLC Portal provides real-time monitoring of DLC generation by various agencies.
