Answer: As I write this, the Government of India has just announced that the The submission date of Life Certificate for Indian pension purposes has been extended from November to January 15, 2017. This is to give Indian banks time to cope with the huge lineups at banks due to the cancellation of Rs. 500 & 1000 currency notes.
