The Ministry of Defence's Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA) has initiated the Nationwide Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 5.0, resulting in over 20.48 lakh defence pensioners registering their DLCs. The campaign, coordinated by the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoP&PW), took place from November 1 to 30, 2026.
To make the process more accessible, 194 SPARSH Service Centers, 4.63 lakh Common Service Centres, 13 partner banks/IPPB, and 80 dedicated outreach programmes were set up. In addition, a Mega Digital Life Certificate Camp was held in Kochi on November 23, 2026. The campaign promotes Aadhaar-based Face Authentication Technology, with more than 80% of DLCs generated through Face ID.
This allows pensioners to authenticate their life certificates using their smartphones, reducing the need for physical visits to bank branches or defence offices. The initiative aids pensioners, especially super-senior and differently-abled individuals, in submitting DLCs conveniently and efficiently.
