The government has extended the period for submission of Life Certificate by Central Government pensioners till 28th February next year.

Earlier, the government had extended the timeline for submission of Life Certificate from 1st of November to 31st of December, 2020.

According to the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension, the Department has been in receipt of numerous petitions from various Pensioners’ Associations as well as individuals requesting a further extension in the date for submitting Life Certificate in view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and vulnerability of elderly population to corona virus.

The Ministry said, after consultation with the office of Controller General of Accounts, it has now been decided to further extended the existing timeline for submission of Life Certificate.
