  1. Why the BJP Government cannot order that life certificate by pensioners/family pensioners who are sr citizen or super senior citizen duly signed by them is sufficient as their specimen signatures are available with the respective Pension payment Bank branches. They have already agreed self attestation for other purpose. This would not only help them not to go to a gazetted officer and wait for a mere signature outside his office door. In case the signature does not tally he may meet the concerned Branch Manager.After retirement no one likes to wait at someones door for a mere signature. Government may kindly consider and review this as a welfare measure for senior/super senior citizens.

  2. In cases where pensioners are having transaction within the year through Bank Chalan personally then asking for life certificate to them is not understandable/appreciable. Further, ward (preferably Govt. Employee) of the pensioners can be considered for submitting the life certificate duly taking the responsibility of any over payment.. Likewise, many other options are there which can be introduced to relief the old age pensioner from this type of mournful job.
