EPFO Launches Free Doorstep Life Certificate Service for Pensioners

• EPFO introduces a free doorstep Digital Life Certificate (DLC) service for EPS pensioners in collaboration with India Post Payments Bank (IPPB).
• Postmen will visit pensioners' homes, verify PPO and Aadhaar, and generate DLCs using Face Authentication Technology or biometric fingerprints.
• The service is free, with EPFO covering all expenses; pensioners can request home visits via IPPB Customer Care.
• EPFO prioritizes resolving DLC cases pending for over 5 years, aiming to clear all by March 2026.
• Pensioners are encouraged to use Jeevanpramaan or UMANG apps for self-generation, but the free doorstep service is available for those needing assistance.

Why It Matters: EPFO's free doorstep DLC service, in partnership with IPPB, simplifies life certificate generation for pensioners.
