The State Bank of India (SBI) has launched a video life certificate service for pensioners. This new facility will allow pensioners to submit their life certificates via video from their homes. As per a press release issued by SBI, this facility is available for pensioners (other than family pensioners). Thus, the spouse of the pensioner receiving a pension from the government will not be able to use this facility. As per SBI, the process of video life certificates is paperless and free of cost.
About the facility:
- As per SBI, the process of video life certificate is paperless and free of cost.
