Every Pensioner must submit Life Certificate once in a year. That is the rule. Now, in BSNL we have two categories of Pensioners.
1. Those who retired recently in 2019 or 2020. They are
covered by SAMPANN. VRS pensioners are covered by it. CCA office is calculating
their pension, IDA etc. and credit the amount in the account of pensioners,
either in Post office or in Bank. All their records are with CCAs. Hence the
Life Certificate should be submitted to CCA office, not Bank, not Post office.
a. LC can be
sent electronically. It is called Digital Life Certificate or DLC. Go to any
Akshaya Kendra having biometric facility, take thump impression etc. and then
send the DLC online to CCA office.
b. Or,
download the Form from CCA’s website. Fill it up, get attested by authorities
like Gazetted officer etc. and submit it by post or by hand to CCA.
LC or DLC should be submitted before completion of 12 months
of submission of it last time. If you had submitted the LC in September last
year, it should be submitted before 20-9-2020. The process in CCA office starts
on 20th of the month.
Those who retired in March or April or May 2019 should have submitted
the LC or DLC in March or April or May this year. Due to lockdown, time is
given up to 30-9-2020. It is only for this year.
2. Old pensioners who are not covered by SAMPANN. Gradually
all will be covered by SAMPANN. Work is going on. CCAs will announce once the
work is completed and old pensioners are taken to SAMPANN. Till then, these
pensioners have to follow old system. Their pension/IDA amounts are calculated
by bank or post office as the case may be. So, such pensioners should submit
their LC to the particular Bank or PO. Go to the Bank or PO with your papers,
fill up the Form and give it physically. It is easy. They can submit LC
electronically also, under Jeevanpramaan. Go to some cybercafe or Akshaya
Kendra with biometric facility and prepare the DLC and send to CPPC of the Bank
or to Director, Postal Accounts of the Circle.
WHEN?
Senior pensioners, 80 years or above, can submit it in
October or before 20th November.
Other pensioners, below the age of 80, should submit it only
in November, before 20th.
