The South Western Railway's Mysuru division will organise special Digital Life Certificate camps at five locations in November to help railway pensioners and family pensioners submit their certificates under the nationwide Jeevan Pramaan 5.0 campaign. The Railway Board launched the campaign on 1 November, and it will conclude on 30 November. The initiative aims to reduce the need for pensioners to physically visit banks and offices by using digital methods including Face Authentication and Biometric Authentication.

The camps will be held from 10:30 am to 5 pm on the following dates: 6 November at Railway Kalyana Mantapa in Mysuru, 12 November at SMR offices in Hassan and Shivamogga railway stations, and 18 November at Arsikere and Harihar railway stations. Pensioners must carry a copy of their Pension Payment Order, original Aadhaar card, bank passbook or account details linked with the PPO, an Aadhaar-linked mobile phone, and a valid photo identity card. Helpline numbers are 0821 to 2866230, 0821-2866231 and 9731667611.
The camps remove the need for pensioners to travel to banks or offices for life certificate submission, a process that becomes harder with age and mobility issues. Five locations across Mysuru division cover a wide area, but pensioners outside these towns still face a journey. The November 30 campaign deadline is the main constraint: anyone who misses the camps must find another digital method or visit a bank before the month ends.
