Procedure for Generating Jeevan Pramaan / Digital Life Certificate (ver1.0)

Image
1. What is Jeevan Pramaan (JP):  There are more than one crore pensioners in the country including pensioners from Central Government and Defense personnel. These pensioners get their due pension through Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) such as the banks, the post offices etc.  Pensioners are required to furnish a “Life Certificate” to these PDAs in November every year either by presenting themselves personally or by delivering a life certificate in the prescribed format. The requirement to produce this certificate causes huge hardships particularly to the aged and or / infirm pensioners.  Launched by Hon. PM Shri. Narendra Modi ji, on 10th Nov 2014,  Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners Scheme of the Government of India, known as the Jeevan Pramaan (JP)  seeks to address this very problem by digitizing the whole process of securing the life certificate. It enables the pensioner to generate a digital life certificate using a software application and secure A

EPFO fixes 8.65% interest rate for PF deposits, cut from 8.8%

ET Bureau | Updated: Dec 20, 2016, 12.31 AM IST NEW DELHI:Keeping in line with falling interest rates, organised sector workers will earn 8.65% on their  provident fund  savings this year.  This follows a decision by the apex decision-making body of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to reduce interest rate on provident fund deposits to 8.65% for 2016-17 from the current 8.8%.  Although union representatives on the EPFO board of trustees sought for the rate to be retained at last year's level, the agency opted otherwise. The move is in line with the falling rate regime with the RBI cutting key lending rates and banks reducing deposit rates following the demonetisation move last month.  "Taking into account relevant factors, the Central Board (of Trustees) decided to recommend 8.65% interest to its subscribers for 2016-17. Roughly 17 crore subscribers' accounts will be updated with this interest rate upon acceptance by the government," labou
