A New Scam Happened Yesterday with my Sister in law (Bhabhi), Retd.Professor, MMH Degree College, Ghaziabad. (Sharing information for awareness) ------------------------------ Yesterday a whatsapp call came at about 12.30 PM, Screen showing that call is from BLUE DART Courier. Caller said that we have a parcel for you and our delivery boy is unable to find your house. My Bhabhi asked to caller from where it is? Caller replied that it is from Education Department. As she was a retired professor thought it should be genuine. Then caller asked her to call our delivery boy directly on number *21*8709271124# and tell him location of your house. She called on above given number and immediately her WhatsApp was hacked and all functions blocked from her phone. Within few minutes later, All persons in her contact received messages and QR code on WhatsApp, to send money as I am in urgent need. After seeing this messages, One relative also paid Rs. 10,000/- via QR Code to scammer. Screenshots are attached for reference. So, Be aware of fraud calls and no reply to them.

Existence certificate
👆I could submit the digital existence certificate sitting comfortably, in the US, using the LIC digital app platform. It was a hassle-free exercise. It was Shri T C Gunesh Kumar, of this group who informed me that the LIC digital app is working outside India. My thanks to Shri T C Gunesh Kumar 🙏.

LIC DIGITAL APP
Sir, this circular is dated 2021. Though this option is still available , now that the LIC digital app is working in US also (two of my friends have confirmed just now)
provided you are getting OTPs from India on your phone, pensioners in US can try these steps on an android device and give a digital EC .
Other than in US no one has confirmed to me yet. If someone is in any other country than US please try these steps and let us know if it's working 👍
The app is not working on iphones right now . It will be set right shortly .
I have just reiterated the steps from our CO instructions here to generate EC.
1. Download LIC digital app from play store/app store .
2. Choose Jeevan Sakshya in the bottom right corner. choose 'skip' and next 'accept' .
3. Register using mobile number and OTP. You have to set a 4digit mpin at this stage .
4. If you are already registered , Login using mpin , if you have forgotten your mpin , generate a new mpin .
5. click on generate certificate. Your pension number will show up. generate EC using CKYC or Digilocker option . Keep your Aadhar card ready .
6. In Digilocker it will ask for Aadhar number and OTP.
7. Details from Aadhar will be displayed .
8. Take selfie and EC will be generated .
9. Click on view certificate to view/download certificate .
10. Digital EC will be automatically updated at LIC .

Existence certificate
I have given this suggestion only as one more option to submit EC by pensioners .
Many pensioners facing difficulties in generating EC through Jeevan-Sakshya app as many times server not works properly and old pensioners also do not understand process how to submit through app.
In practical, nobody visits home to assist and educate pensioners.
So, this will serve as one more easiest option in addition to Jeevan-Sakshya, Physical EC and submitting via email.

Submission of Existence Certificate by a Pensioner who is abroad
Dear All,
I had received a message from a viewer last year stating that it was possible to generate an Existence Certificate by the pensioner who Iwas residing in a foreign country by using Jeevan namaste App.
I am not able to lay hands on the same.
I make an to that person to resend the same to me for publication on my blog for the convenience of those pensioners who are abroad at the moment.

Existence Certificate
In Banks , Pensioners and Family pensioners submit life certificate, in a nearest Branch of their Bank. The Bank Branch will forward it to their Pension Cell in their H . O.
My younger sister is a Scale 5 Family Pensioner of Canra Bank , and she follows this procedure in November every year in Kakinada.

Acceptance 0f Existence Certificate from Pensioners
It must be possible by use of technology. When we are able to collect premium from any Branch why not put in a place a software program to generate EC from any Branch with a password or m Pin?It should be possible. Only the retiree must be in a position to go there..
C H Mahadevan
The suggestion of Shri Rajeev Goel
Sir,
LIC is now in the process of stabilizing and use of submission of EC through Jeevan Saakshya. By doing this one need not go to nearest branch also. Sitting in his drawing room EC can be submitted.
All the Pensioner's Unions should undertake programs to educate Old Pensioners to submit EC online. NOIP is trying to do the above through their Divisional Units. Some dedicated activists are visiting Pensioners in their homes and assisting them in submitting EC through Jeevan Saakshya.
However, the suggestion by Sri Rajeev Goel ji is good and can be taken up with CO.

Suggestion in r/o Existence certificate (EC) by LIC Pensioners
Suggestion in r/o Existence certificate (EC) by LIC Pensioners
-----------------------------
As an policy holder having annuity policy in any branch , can submit his counter signed ( by authorised official) physical EC in any nearest branch and official validate it and annuity released in due time.
Just like this, A provision should be there for pensioners also to submit their EC in any nearest branch and branch official should counter sign his EC and validate in system . This will be very helpful for pensioners.
Submitted for favorable consideration.

154th Issue of Eastern News, August, 2026
Respected Members/Readers,
As the tricolour unfolds against the morning sky on August 15, 2026, India marks its 80th Independence Day—a milestone reflecting eight decades of sovereignty, resilience, and democratic strength. From the midnight chime of August 15, 1947, when the nation awoke to freedom after nearly two centuries of British colonial rule, the story of modern India has been defined by the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters and the quiet determination of millions of ordinary citizens.
Over the past eight decades, India has transformed from an impoverished, newly partitioned state into one of the world's fastest-growing major economies and a leading voice in scientific innovation, space exploration, and technology. The journey to 80 years of freedom is a tribute not only to foundational leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, but also to generations of farmers, scientists, teachers, and youth who built the republic brick by brick.
Against the aforesaid backdrop, we are attaching herewith the 154th Issue of August 2026 Eastern News featuring analytical articles on 80th Independence Day and other relevant topics. It is needless to mention that we highly value your insights regarding our topics, contents and our activities. Please forward your views to at e-mail licretiredofficers@gmail.com. Your feedback will be published in a subsequent issue.
We extend our heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all readers and their family members on the occasion of the 80th Independence Day.
With regards,
General Secretary LIC Retired Class-I Officers’ Association Click below:' https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h78rvq2FKt3JAD6ejU3Pv-MpLjWmR8YI/view?usp=drivesdk | ||
