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

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.

C  T JOSHI 

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  154^th    Issue of   August 2026  Eastern News featuring  analytical articles on 80^th 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 80^th Independence Day.

ESTIMATION OF VALUATION SURPLUS AS AT 31/3/2026

ESTIMATION OF VALUATION SURPLUS AS AT 31/3/2026

LIC has stopped publishing the figures of valuation surplus in the Annual Reports for the last few years and my requests for the information under RTI Act 2005 has also been denied by the CPIO.

So, I thought of estimating the valuation surplus as at 31/3/2026 bu using the figures in the public domain adopting the following methodology:

 Valuation Surplus is the sum of Par Surplus (PS) and Non-par Surplus (NPS) under the policies in the Corporation. Presently 90% of the Par Surplus is distributed to policyholders by way of bonus under wih profit policies.10% of par surplus is paid to the shareholders.100% of non-par surplus is paid to the shareholders.

The Central Government received a dividend cheque for Rs 12207.75 Cr from LIC.

LIC owns 96.5% of the share s presently and the Public own 3.5% of the equity shares in LIC

The Policyholders received Bonus to the extent of Rs 59726 cr being the 90% of the Par-Surplus.

LIC got an amount of 96.5% of the amount from Par-Surplus, viz, Rs 6403.954.

Let NPS be the total non-par valuation Surplus. Then LIC got 0.965* NPS.

Let NPS be the total non-par valuation Surplus of LIC as at 31/3/2026.

This gives the equation

(6403.954)+(0.965 * NPS)= 12207.25.

ie

0.965*NPS=(12207.25 - 6403.954)

So

NPS=(12207.25 - 6403.954)/0.965

=(5803.296)/.965

=6013.778

Solving this equation, we get NPS= 6013.778

 PS= (59726×10/9)=66362.22

Total Valuation Surplus =PS+NPS= 66362.22+6013.778= Rs 72376 Cr.

Actuaries may validate my estimation of possible or enlighten me if I have gone wrong.

Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti..

In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.

"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."

The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.

5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.

He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.

By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.

He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"

He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.

He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.

In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.

Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.

The Life Insurance Corporation of India paid a dividend of ₹12,207.25 crore to the govt for the financial year 2025–26

The Life Insurance Corporation of India paid a dividend of ₹12,207.25 crore to the govt for the financial year 2025–26. For the previous financial year, LIC paid a total dividend of ₹7,324.34 crore to the Govt. LIC has also declared that it had ₹59.03 lakh crore in assets as on 31 March 2026. No other listed public sector enterprise or bank has paid a dividend as high as LIC’s ₹12,207.25 crore for the financial year 2025–26. The associates of LIC—field force, staff and policyholders—deserve huge applause on this occasion, without whose wholehearted contribution this kind of milestone achievement would not have been possible. Not merely receiving the dividends, the govt should also try to propagate the importance of public sector LIC among the youth and the new generation. If functional autonomy to LIC, without further disinvestment, is given, it will further excel in the competitive market. 

CONGRATULATIONS TO LIC ON ITS PURPOSEFUL EXISTENCE OF 70 YEARS IN THE SERVICE OF THE PEOPLE AND THE NATION.

LIC HANDS OVER DIVIDEND CHEQUE TO GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

MINISTRY OF FINANCE

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES RAJYA SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION No. 1040

ANSWERED ON TUESDAY, 28 JULY, 2026/ 6 SHRAVANA, 1948 (SAKA)

Will the Minister of Finance be pleased to state:

• (b)
  whether Government has reviewed the factors contributing to these persistency trends; and
• (c)
  whether any measures, such as standardised post-sale reminder and reinstatement communication and enhanced grace periods for policyholders facing economic disruption, are under consideration to improve persistency rates?
