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 1st to 30th 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 (Department of Posts) doorstep DLC service.

Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, in his Mann Ki Baat address (24th November, 2024) and Constitution Day address (26th November, 2024), highlighted how Digital India initiatives like the Digital Life Certificate have simplified the pension process for senior citizens across the country.

Dr Jitendra Singh, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Science & Technology; Minister of State, Prime Minister’s Office, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions; Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Space, will attend the SBI Mega Camp under the Nationwide DLC Campaign 4.0 at NDMC Convention Centre, New Delhi, on 3rd November, 2025. He will interact with pensioners availing the DLC facility through Face Authentication and witness demonstrations by various stakeholder organisations including State Bank of India, India Post Payments Bank (DoP), UIDAI, and NIC.

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 for achieving digital inclusion of pensioners. The NIC DLC Portal provides real-time monitoring of DLC generation by various agencies.

The Department 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.
