TMC Launches Digital Life Certificate App in Thane, Allowing Pensioners to Submit Annual Documents From Home

Retired Thane Municipal Corporation employees can now submit their annual life certificates digitally, saving time, avoiding long queues, and reducing the need for bank visits.

The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has introduced a new digital service to make life easier for its retired employees and pensioners. Through the newly launched TMC Life Certificate Digital System, eligible pensioners can now submit their annual life certificates from the comfort of their homes without visiting bank branches or municipal offices.

The initiative has been developed in collaboration with the Bank of Maharashtra and the State Bank of India (SBI), under the guidance of Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao. The service aims to make the annual pension verification process simpler, faster, and more convenient for senior citizens.

Mayor Sharmila Pimpalolkar Inaugurates TMC Life Certificate App

The new digital service was officially inaugurated by Thane Mayor Sharmila Pimpalolkar at the Late Narendra Ballal Hall.

Several civic representatives and senior municipal officials attended the launch event, including Leader of the House Hanmant Jagdale, Leader of Opposition Shanu Pathan, Shiv Sena Group Leader Pawan Kadam, Naupada-Kopri Ward Committee Chairperson Minal Sankhe, and Uthalsar Ward Committee Chairman Narayan Pawar.

Other attendees included local Corporator Rajesh More, Deputy Commissioner G. G. Godepure, Chief Finance and Accounts Officer Deepak Shinde, Personnel Officer Dayanand Gundap, and representatives of the Bank of Maharashtra.

Pensioners Can Submit Annual Life Certificates Without Visiting Banks

Earlier, retired TMC employees had to visit bank branches or municipal offices every year to submit their life certificates. This process often created difficulties for elderly pensioners, particularly those who faced mobility challenges, long queues, travel-related problems, and extended waiting periods.

The newly introduced mobile application provides a more convenient alternative by allowing eligible pensioners to complete the annual certificate submission process digitally from home.

This will help senior citizens save valuable time and avoid unnecessary travel. It will also reduce their dependence on family members or caregivers for completing routine pension-related formalities.

Digital Verification to Improve TMC Pension Administration

The new application is expected to benefit not only pensioners but also the municipal administration. Through the digital platform, TMC can collect, verify, and manage life certificates more efficiently.

The system will help reduce paperwork, improve transparency, and speed up administrative processing. It also supports the civic body's efforts to adopt technology-driven solutions for delivering better public services.

TMC Strengthens Digital Services for Retired Employees

The launch of the TMC Life Certificate Digital System is an important step toward making pension-related services more accessible to retired municipal employees.

By reducing physical visits and simplifying annual documentation, the Thane Municipal Corporation aims to provide senior citizens with a more comfortable and dignified experience.

The initiative reflects TMC's focus on digital governance and citizen-friendly administration, ensuring that retired employees can complete essential formalities with greater ease and convenience.
