Prayagraj, Oct 27 (HS): Under the aegis of the Department

of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW), Government of India, North

Central Railway (NCR) will conduct the Nationwide Digital Life

Certificate (DLC) Campaign 5.0 across all its divisions and establishments

from November 1 to November 30, 2026. This month-long campaign aims to empower

railway pensioners through digital technology and ensure a seamless,

hassle-free process for submitting Life Certificates. To maximize reach and

convenience for senior citizens and family pensioners, North Central Railway

has planned a series of dedicated activities and key facilities throughout the

campaign:

Key Activities & Core Features:

Organization of DLC Camps Across Stations & Divisions:

Dedicated Digital Life Certificate submission camps will be set up at major

railway stations, railway workshops, divisional headquarters, and major railway

premises across the North Central Railway network.

Conducting a 'Mega Camp' in Prayagraj: A flagship 'Mega

DLC Camp' will be organized at Prayagraj, bringing together multi-agency

support to assist a large number of pensioners under one roof.

Coordination with Banks and India Post Payments Bank

(IPPB): Joint camps will be conducted in coordination with major public/private

sector banks and India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) to provide doorstep and

branch-level services to pensioners.

Doorstep 'Home Visit' Service for Super-Senior Pensioners

(80+ Years): Special doorstep visits will be facilitated for elderly pensioners

(aged 80 and above), bedridden individuals, or persons with disabilities who

are unable to travel to camp locations.

Promotion of Aadhaar-based Face Authentication Technology:

Widespread awareness will be created regarding Android-based Face

Authentication technology (using the AadhaarFaceRD application), enabling

pensioners to generate and submit their life certificates independently from

home using smartphones.

Free Medical Check-up, UMID Card Processing & HRMS

Guidance: In addition to DLC processing, complimentary health check-up camps

will be organized at key venues. Furthermore, assistance for UMID (Unique

pensioners.

Helpdesks and Immediate Grievance Redressal: Dedicated

technical helpdesks and inquiry points will remain operational throughout the

month to assist pensioners with biometric registration issues, technical

glitches, or portal queries.

Awareness Drives: In collaboration with Pensioners'

Associations and Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), active outreach programs

will be conducted. Inspiring success stories of super-senior pensioners (aged

90+) using digital channels will also be featured across digital media and

government portals.

pensioners and family pensioners to actively participate in the camps organized

between November 1 and November 30, 2026, and utilize the digital self-service

tools for quick certificate submission
