#CharchaMe | Face authentication is making the Digital Life Certificate process more convenient for pensioners. Nivedita Shukla Verma, Secretary of Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare (DoPPW) explains how pensioners previously had to visit the pension-disbursing authority and wait in queues to submit their life certificates. With face authentication, pensioners can now use a smartphone and the Digital Life Certificate app to complete the process from home, without needing an additional biometric.
