What is JEEVAN Pramaan ?

Digital life Certificate for Pensioners scheme of the Government of India known as Jeevan Pramaan. It seeks to address the problem of pensioners’ by digitizing the whole process of securing the life certificate. Every year in the month of November the pensioners has to provide life certificates to the authorized pension disbursing agencies like the bank, for continuous crediting of pension to their account. In order to get this life certificates the individual drawing the pension is required to either personally present himself/ herself before the Pension Disbursing Agency or have the Life Certificate issued by authority where they have served earlier and have it delivered to the disbursing agency.It has been noted that it causes a lot of hardship and unnecessary inconvenience particularly for the aged and infirm pensioners who cannot always be in a position to present themselves in front of the particular authority to secure their life certificate. In addition to this a number of pensioners decide to choose to move to other countries either to be with their family or other reasons, and getting a life certificate becomes a huge logistical issue.

“Jeevan Pramaan” aims to streamline the process of getting this certificate and making it hassle free and much easier for the pensioners. With this initiative the pensioners need not physically present himself/herself in front of disbursing agency or the certification authority. He may submit his/her life certificate from home on his computer which will also be acceptable to bank .

Message from Mr. Ashwani Kumar, Lt Gen, Adjutant General about this book

1. 7th Central Pay Commission award, in many ways, has been a revolutionary due to the active involvement of the environment. This was for the first time when we have transited from Pay Bands to a Pay Matrix system. The method of awarding increments has been modified to a pre calculated stage system in the Defence Pay Matrix, thereby ensuring uniformity. Several old allowances have been merged, some allowances abolished and new ones have been granted.

2. Aim is to provide a ready reckoner to ensure that full benefits of Pay Commission Award are exploited by the environment. It will serve as a guideline for the men and women in uniform to make themselves aware of the 7th CPC benefits and entitlements.

3. I compliment DG (MP&PS), PS Dte and the 7th Army Pay Commission Cell (APCC) team for their endeavour in bringing out this Information Brochure and hope that it will meet the desired objective.

Ref: Railway Board’s letter No. 2006/V-1/Meet/5/1 dated 11.08.2011.

Instructions have already been laid down on the procedure to be followed for dealing with DAR cases against Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ staff arising out of Vigilance investigation, vide this office letters No. 2006/V-1/Meet/6/1 dated 19.07.2006 (RBV No. 13/2006) and 2010/V-1/Meet/5/1 dated 11.08.2011 (RBV No 10/2011). These instructions were also reiterated vide letter No. 2012/V-1/Meet/5/2 dated 18.10.2012 (RBV No. 6/2012) for compliance.

It has now come to notice that in some Railways. the adequacy of the quantum of punishment is also being decided in consultation with Vigilance. lt is clarified that there is no provision in the IR Vigilance Manual for such a practice Hence in cases where the Disciplinary Authority agrees with the advice of the Vigilance Department for imposing a major or minor penalty, there is no further need to consult the Vigilance Department regarding the quantum of the punishment. It may be noted that DA has to apply his/her own mind in each case as per common prudence.

This has the approval of PED/Vigilance.
