Subject: - Submission of Life Certificate.

It has been the experience of this Department that the Senior Pensioners i.e. the pensioners 80 years and

above are facing a lot of difficulties standing in queues while giving the life Certificates in November. It has

been under the consideration of the Government to provide some relief to such pensioners.

2. It has therefore, been decided by the Government, that Senior Pensioners aged 80 years and above be

allowed to give their Life Certificate w.e.f 1st October every year instead of November which would be valid

till 30th November of the subsequent year.

3. The remaining pensioners below the age of 80 years may continue to give their Life Certificate in

November as per existing provisions of CPAO Scheme booklet.

This has the approval of competent authority.
