This can generally be done by going to the bank and submitting a hard copy of the certificate and providing the biometric proof. But there are several people who find it difficult to move out and physically go to the bank and submit the life certificate due to their old age. If they fail to do so, they will not be given their pension which can cause them a lot of problems. So, what can be done in that case. They need not worry because if they cannot come to the bank, the bank will come to their doorsteps and take their biometric and certificate and submit it to the bank. This is made possible through doorstep banking facilities. There are six ways in which pensioners can submit their annual life certificate digitally and use their pension.
