Sir,
Sub: – Submission of Digital Life Certificate by Pensioners covered under SAMPANN – extension sought – reg.
The Pensioners covered under SAMPANN are required to submit Digital Life Certificate within one year of their date of retirement. The pensioners retired in the months of February, March, April and May were given extension to submit the DLC upto 30-06-2020, considering the peculiar situation prevailing in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, the fact remains that most of the Pensioners could not submit the DLC within 30-06-2020 due to the worsening situation of the pandemic, slipping to super spread or rather social spread.
The pensioners need to go to the nearby Akshay Centers to generate the Digital Life Certificate and updation by respective CCAs. (It will be appreciable, if the updation is acknowledged to the pensioners individually through SMS). The elders are the most vulnerable section to the pandemic and are warned against going out by the health workers and police. It is also a fact that in many places, even when the pensioners take the risk, the Akshay Centers are found to be closed due to lock down.
In these circumstances, it is requested that the date of submission of Digital Life Certificate, may please be extended upto 30-11-2020.
Awaiting a positive action and
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
