Pensioners can now submit Life Certificates through video call – Here is how to do it

SBI Life Certificate Video Call

On 1 November 2021, the State Bank of India (SBI) launched India’s first “Video Life Certificate” (VLC) service. This would enable pensioners to submit their Life Certificates via a simple video call from their homes.

“Now submit your #LifeCertificate from the comfort of your home! Our #VideoLifeCertificate service launching on 1st Nov 2021 will allow pensioners to submit their life certificates through a simple video call,” the country’s top lender informed via a tweet.

In order to continue receiving a pension, every government pensioner has to submit an annual Life Certificate in November.

SBI has shared a roughly one-minute video outlining the step-by-step process for bank pension account holders to submit their life certificate through video call beginning 1 November 2021.
