Hey there! 👋 I’m Muzamil Ahad, and I’m here to help you with your Jeevan Pramaan submission. Let’s make this easy and fun!
Are you having trouble with your Jeevan Pramaan submission? Don’t worry! You’re not alone. Many people find it hard. But I’m here to help! In this article, we’ll look at common problems and how to fix them. By the end, you’ll be a pro at submitting your Jeevan Pramaan. Let’s get started!
What is Jeevan Pramaan?
Before we dive into the problems, let’s talk about what Jeevan Pramaan is. Jeevan Pramaan is a digital life certificate. It’s a way for pensioners to prove they’re alive without going to a bank or post office. It’s easier and faster than the old way.
Here’s how it works:
- You use your computer or phone
- You give your fingerprint or eye scan
- The system checks if it’s really you
- If it is, you get your certificate
Sounds simple, right? But sometimes things go wrong. Let’s look at the most common issues and how to fix them.
Biometric Authentication Challenges
One of the biggest problems people face is with biometric authentication. This means using your body to prove who you are. Let’s break it down:
Fingerprint Recognition Failures
Sometimes, the machine can’t read your fingerprint. This can happen if:
- Your fingers are too dry
- Your fingers are too wet
- Your fingerprint has changed over time
How to fix it:
- Wash and dry your hands
- Use a little hand lotion
- Try different fingers
If none of these work, don’t worry! There are other ways to prove who you are.
Iris Scan Errors
An iris scan looks at your eye. But it doesn’t always work right. Here’s why:
- The light is too bright or too dark
- You blinked
- You wear glasses
How to fix it:
- Find a room with good light
- Try to keep your eyes open
- Take off your glasses if you can
Face Recognition Problems
Sometimes, the computer can’t recognize your face. This might happen because:
- The picture is blurry
- The lighting is bad
- Your face has changed since your last photo
How to fix it:
- Make sure your camera is clean
- Find good lighting
- Look straight at the camera
Remember, if one method doesn’t work, you can try another. Don’t give up!
Technical Glitches and System Errors
Sometimes, the problem isn’t you – it’s the computer! Here are some common tech issues:
Application Crashes and Freezes
The app might stop working. This can happen if:

- You don’t have enough space

How to fix it:
- Close other apps
- Restart your device
- Update the app
Slow Processing Times
Sometimes, things move very slowly. This could be because:
- Many people are using the system
- Your internet is slow
- Your device is working hard
How to fix it:
- Try at a different time of day
- Check your internet speed
- Close other apps on your device
