The Department of Posts, Goa Division, in collaboration with India Post Payments Bank, is launching the Digital Life Certificate service via the Jeevan Pramaan service across Goa starting November 1, 2026. Part of the nationwide Digital Life Certificate 5.0 Campaign, the service enables Central Government, Goa State Government, and EPFO pensioners to submit annual life certificates either at post offices or from home. Using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication (fingerprints or face authentication), the verification generates a digital certificate sent via SMS to the pensioner and forwarded to the Pension Disbursing Authority. A doorstep service is available via postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks for a fee of ₹70.
