Dear veterans’

1. This message is to get your Life Certificate sitting at home if you down load two apps from Google Play Store. No need to buy costly biometric devices. Not you have to run to bank or DPDO office or CDA office or Col Veterans or Record Office etc. Aadhar Face Rd and Jeevan Pramaan Version 4.0.0 available in Google Playstore can be downloaded onto your Android Mobile like Samsung etc (not in Iphone yet).
2. There are cases when the pensioner submits his life certificate but the bank misplaces it and he does not get pension from Decemer. There is one case of Mrs Devika Singh in USA , a naval family pensioner who submitted her Life Certicate but the CPPC, SBI, Belapur Navi Mumbai misplaced it and she does not get her pension since 2015 till date.
3. Now Jeevan Pramaan has come out with an improved version 4.0.0 of their app available in Google Play store. Go to Google Playstore. In the search bar type Jeevan Pramaan 4.0.0. It will ask you to INSTALL. Click on Install. Once it the app is installed, click on OPEN. You will see the new logo of Jeevan Pramaan. You can easily download it. Then you have to down Aadhar FaceRD app again from Google Playstore. The Jeevan Praman Logo appears in your mobile but not the Aadhar FaceRD app which works silently in the background. So do not worry about Aadhar FaceRd app(which you cannot see on your mobile screen).
