Special Aadhaar Enrollment drive for Pensioners from May 30 to June 10

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched a special enrollment drive for pensioners who are yet to enroll for Aadhaar. The enrollment drive and the Aadhaar seeding camp which began from 30th of last month will continue till 10th of this month. <br/><br/>Ministry of Communications and Information Technology in a release said, every year, pensioners need to provide a life certificate to Banks and Post offices for receipt of pension. Jeevan Pramaan, a digital life certificate which utilises the Aadhaar identity platform, addresses this problem by digitizing the whole process of securing a life certificate. <br/><br/>A pensioner just needs to biometricaly authenticate at the nearest centre. After successful authentication, the digital life certificate is stored in a Life Certificate Repository, which can be accessed by the Pension Disbursing Authority. Over 15 Lakh pensioners have already registered for Jeevan Pramaan service so far.
