Una, October 28: The SPARSH Service Centre, Una, will conduct the Nationwide Digital Life Certificate Campaign 5.0 from November 1 to 30 for all defence pensioners in the district. During this period, all defence pensioners must complete their annual identification verification on time to ensure uninterrupted pension payments. This information was provided by Amit Chhabra, in-charge of the SPARSH Service Centre, Una (formerly the DPDО office).
Amit Chhabra said that defence pensioners belonging to the Army, Air Force, Navy, Defence Accounts Department and other related categories, covered under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, must ensure that they submit their digital life certificates within the prescribed period through the centre.
