New Delhi: Life certificate submission is an important step in the process of ensuring that pension is credited into the accounts of pensioners. Death is a stark reality that we have to face and government rules require pensioners to submit proof of their being alive from time to time to ensure that pension is rightfully credited to their account. This step also prevents potential misuse where others may draw the pension on behalf of a dead person.
