Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Bank has cautioned government pensioners against fraudsters posing as bank officials and offering assistance in submitting Digital Life Certificates (DLCs).

In an advisory on social media, the bank said fraudsters may contact pensioners under the pretext of helping them submit their Digital Life Certificates and attempt to obtain sensitive banking information.

The bank clarified that it never asks customers to share banking details, PINs or One-Time Passwords (OTPs) for the DLC submission process.

It advised pensioners to submit their Digital Life Certificates only through official government channels. Those requiring assistance have been asked to contact their respective bank branches directly or visit the official pension portal.

Urging customers to remain vigilant, the bank reiterated its message: “Samajhdar Bano, Scam Se Bacho.”
