## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH)

(a) & (b):-   No Madam.  There is no such proposal under consideration.

(c):   Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare has informed that an 'Aadhar-based Digital Life Certificate (DLC)' for pensioners was launched on 10 th November, 2014.

Aadhaar is used for authentication of pensioners.  As a result of this facility the pensioner is  not  required  to  present  himself  before  his  pension  disbursing  agency  or  produce  other documents that he is alive.

After   generation of the DLC, the pension disbursing agencies integrated with the system will get access to the submitted DLC for processing and release of pension there after.

- (d):     Number of DLCs submitted since November, 2018 to till date is enclosed as annexure.

(e):     Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has informed that it has a well-designed, multi-layered robust security system in place to maintain the highest level of data security and integrity in accordance with the Aadhaar Act, 2016 and the Regulations notified under the Act. Some of the security measures include provision of secure channel, implementation of Aadhaar Data Vault, Hardware Security Module, Registered Devices, Virtual ID-UID Token, biometric locking etc.
