ISLAMABAD: The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) has made the Proof of Life Certificate (PoLC) free for pensioners and expanded access to the document through multiple channels across the country, including the PakID mobile app, registration centres, union councils and e-Sahulat franchises.
The initiative, launched on Friday, was taken on the special directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defence, Controller General of Accounts (CGA) and Military Accountant General (MAG).
A PoLC is an official document that verifies that a pensioner is alive.
According to Nadra, the easiest option is the PakID mobile application, through which eligible pensioners can obtain the certificate digitally from home.
