PFRDA launches UPS Jeewan Setu digital life certificate facility
In short
PFRDA has launched a new digital life certificate service for pensioners under the Unified Pension Scheme. Mint Money says it uses Aadhaar and can be accessed through the Protean eGov App.
This matters because pensioners need to submit a life certificate every year. The report does not give the exact deadline or say how many people will use it.
