DLC submission for SBI account holders

Starting October 2026, pensioners aged 80 and above receiving their monthly pension through the State Bank of India (SBI) can submit their life certificate either physically or digitally. Earlier, all pensioners had until November 30 to submit their life certificate. The life certificate submission can be done at any SBI branch or through the Jeevan Pramaan portal, UMANG app, or Common Service Centre (CSC) and Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

To submit a life certificate at an SBI branch, pensioners physically visit the branch with their Aadhaar, mobile number, Pension Payment Order (PPO) and account number. They then provide biometrics, specifically fingerprints. Upon successful Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, the Jeevan Pramaan system generates a Digital Life Certificate with a unique acknowledgement number called a Pramaan ID.

Alternatively, pensioners can generate their digital life certificate through the official Jeevan Pramaan portal. They need to search for Jeevan Pramaan on the UMANG app, click on Generate Life Certificate, and download the Aadhaar Face RD service. Next, they provide their PPO number, pension details, and authenticate using Aadhaar. The face authentication completes the request, which is sent to the disbursal authority.

Another method is to visit a CSC or Aadhaar Seva Kendra for digital life certificate submission. Pensioners provide their Aadhaar number, mobile number, PPO number, account number, and the name of the pension sanctioning authority. They then give biometrics, specifically a fingerprint. Upon successful Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, a Jeevan Pramaan is generated with a unique Pramaan ID acknowledgement.
