Jeevan Pramaan is a free online reference software that enables you to claim your pension. This software is provided by the Government of India and is a biometric authentication digital service for government pensioners that lets them secure their Digital Life Certificate. This service allows you to get your certificate without having to present yourself to the authorized pension disbursing agencies.

Easy to Use

Jeevan Pramaan is meant to be easy to use. It was developed to offer a user-friendly experience as long as you have your required documentation ready. First, you'll have to download the software on your preferred device. You can do this by going to the site's official downloads section. Next, you'll have to enter your email and solve a captcha. From there you'll be sent an OTP email message after you agree to download. You'll then be sent a download link, from there you'll choose to "download for Windows OS." By doing so, you'll get the installer.

It should be noted that this program requires a biometric scanner, whether fingerprint or iris, to work. This is due to the fact that it uses the Aadhaar Platform. This is a 12-digit unique identity number in India, meant for biometric identification. This system is one of the best to verify your identity and doesn't require a lot of documentation.

Once you have the biometrics scanner ready, you'll download the program and provide your required information. This information may include your Aadhaar number, pension payment order, mobile number, or similar.

After your successful authentication, you'll get an SMS acknowledgment. This is sent to your mobile number, which includes your Jeevan Pramaan Certificate ID. Your certificate would then be stored in the Life Certificate Repository. This can easily be accessed by you and any Pension Disbursing Agency. You can then download a PDF copy of your certificate. You can do this from the official website after providing your Jeevan Pramaan ID.

This software provides a handy service for those who can't get to the appropriate Citizen Services Centers easily. However, some may also find the service to be costly, due to the fact that a biometric scanner for your PC would have to be set up. While that may be true, the software is useful and is also easy to use. The service saves you time and stress, making it easier than ever to get your affairs in order.

Is It Worth It?

Overall, this software is useful and has the potential to make obtaining your certificate easier than before. The program is safe to use and also easy to use, making it overall worth it in the end, as long as you can justify the extra cost of the biometric scanner.
