How many defence pensioners had submitted Digital Life Certificates under DLC Campaign 5.0 as reported on 12 November 2026?
- A.Over 10.24 lakh
- B.Over 20.48 lakh
- C.Over 30.50 lakh
- D.Over 45 lakh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is over 20.48 lakh. That is the number of defence pensioners who had filed their Digital Life Certificates under the fifth edition of the nationwide campaign, and it is the largest contribution by any department taking part. Options A, C and D are not supported by the figures of the campaign. A nearby number worth keeping separate is the total of the previous edition: under Campaign 4.0 in November 2025 the Defence Accounts Department generated more than 20.94 lakh certificates, so the two editions must not be mixed up. Another figure of the same family is the SPARSH platform onboarding of 35.11 lakh defence pensioners by October 2026. The present campaign itself runs through the whole month of November, from the first to the thirtieth.
