After installing the app, the pensioner will have to enter his/her Aadhaar number and mobile number (any) in the Jeevan Pramaan Face App for verification. Any mobile number can be entered in this as it is not mandatory to enter mobile number linked to Aadhaar only, he added.

Thereafter the details such as full name in Aadhaar, type of pensioner, sanctioning authority (State Government of Himachal Pradesh), disbursing agency (Himachal Pradesh State Treasury), Treasury / Sub Treasury etc are to be filled to obtain online life certificate.
With this initiative, pensioners can get their faces biometrically verified and submit their life certificates from their Android devices without any hassle, he said.
The spokesperson said that on filling the above information on the app, a message will appear asking the pensioner to scan his face and blink his eyes. Once the image is successfully captured, a certificate ID will be generated and an SMS will also be sent to the mobile number. This certificate will be automatically sent to the e-pension software of the state, which will be confirmed to the pensioner by SMS from e-pension
