The ones joining SPARSH straightaway, Life Certificate would be due in the next month post retirement.
For those Veterans who are being migrated to SPARSH from the erstwhile system, it will be based on their month of migration.
SPARSH Pensioners will get an indication of when their life Certification is due on their Pension Slips as well as on Sparsh Portal - Life Certificate Page.
If Life certification has been done in any month other than November, as mandated by SPARSH, there is no need to do Life Certification again in November every year.
You will have to do according to your cycle as per your Pension Slip on SPARSH, or as indicated on Life Certificate Page of Sparsh Portal.
