It is mandatory for every government pensioner to submit an annual Life Certificate in November to continue receiving a pension.  

“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,” SBI informed via a tweet.

In a nearly 1-minute video, SBI has explained a step-by-step process through which bank pension account holders can submit their life certificate through a video call from 1 November 2021.
