Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions Digital Life Certificate Campaign 4.0 Crosses 1 Crore Mark
Posted On: 14 NOV 2025 3:03PM by PIB Delhi The Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign has crossed the record One Crore mark in the ongoing Nationwide DLC Campaign 4.0. The campaign is being conducted from 1-30 November 2025, across 2000 cities/towns covering 2,540 locations across the country. As on 12.11.2025, more than 35,000 DLC camps have already been held, and 75,000 additional camps will be organised by 30 November 2025 to ensure nationwide saturation.
A total of 100 lakh (1 crore) DLCs have been generated so far, including 59,13,073 (58%) through Face Authentication and 7 lakh DLCs for pensioners aged 80 years and above. This has brought significant ease and dignity to elderly, sick and incapacitated pensioners.
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Personnel/DoPT/DARPG, Dr Jitendra Singh, said this milestone reflects the Prime Minister’s vision of Digital Empowerment of Pensioners, as highlighted in the 116th episode of “Mann Ki Baat”. He said the Government converted a long- standing challenge into an opportunity by adopting biometric and face authentication technologies that eliminate the need for physical presence.
All major stakeholders—Pension Disbursing Banks, DoPPW, CGDA, Railways, DoT, Department of Posts, IPPB, UIDAI, NIC and Pensioners’ Welfare Associations—are working with a whole-of- government approach to maximise outreach, including in remote areas.DLC 4.0 has achieved the one-crore milestone much earlier than DLC 3.0, indicating rapid digital adoption among pensioners. With strong momentum and extensive field mobilisation, the Department is on track to achieve the 2 crore saturation-based target for 2025, strengthening India’s digitally empowered pension delivery system.
