Dehradun, 5 Nov: The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW), Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, is conducting the Nationwide Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 4.0 from 1 to 30 November 2025. The campaign is a key initiative under the Government’s vision of Digital Empowerment of Pensioners, aligned with the Digital India and Ease of Living missions.
The DLC Campaign 4.0 aims to reach two crore pensioners across more than 2,000 cities and towns through a saturation-based outreach approach. The campaign emphasizes the use of Aadhaar-based Face Authentication technology, enabling pensioners to submit their Life Certificates conveniently without requiring biometric devices. Special focus is being given to super senior and differently-abled pensioners through India Post Payments Bank’s doorstep DLC service.
As part of the nationwide campaign, Lalta Prasad Pal, Consultant, will visit the DLC Camps organized at India Post Payments Bank, Head Post Office, Pauri and branches of State Bank of India at Pauri, Srinagar Garhwal, Base Hospital, HNB Srinagar, Satpuli, and Kotdwar on 6 November 2025 to oversee arrangements and interact with pensioners availing the DLC facility through Face Authentication and doorstep services. The officer will review coordination among Banks, India Post Payments Bank (DoP), UIDAI, NIC, and local Pensioners’ Welfare Associations to ensure the smooth functioning of the camps.
The campaign brings together all major stakeholders — including Banks, India Post Payments Bank, UIDAI, MeitY, NIC, CGDA, Railways, and Pensioners’ Welfare Associations — to work collaboratively toward achieving digital inclusion of pensioners. The NIC DLC Portal provides real-time monitoring of DLC generation by various agencies.
The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare continues to remain committed to ensuring ease of living and digital empowerment of pensioners through sustained reforms and technology-driven initiatives such as the Digital Life Certificate Campaign.
