Which department conducts the nationwide Digital Life Certificate campaign for pensioners?
- A.Department of Posts
- B.Department of Financial Services
- C.Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare
- D.Department of Telecommunications
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare, which sits in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions. It notified the guidelines for the drive in an office memorandum dated 13 August 2026 and it is running the fifth edition from 1 to 30 November 2026. Option A, the Department of Posts, is wrong as the lead agency, although district post offices are partners in the camps and India Post Payments Bank takes part as well. Option B, the Department of Financial Services, is wrong, even though pension disbursing banks join the drive. Option D, the Department of Telecommunications, is wrong for the same reason; it is one of several partners, along with the Controller General of Defence Accounts, the Railways, the Employees Provident Fund Organisation, state governments, UIDAI and MeitY, but it does not conduct the campaign.
