New Delhi: A large number of people in Bihar receive pension benefits under social security schemes. These social security pensions benefit the elderly, widowed women, and people with disabilities. If a member of your family receives a pension, this information will be very useful to you.

The government has now launched a free Aadhaar-based life certificate service for beneficiaries of social security pension schemes in Bihar. This service is now available through Common Service Centres (CSCs) across the state. You can visit a CSC to submit your life certificate. You will not have to pay any fee for this service.

Government Launches This Facility

The Bihar government has launched a free Aadhaar-based life certificate service for beneficiaries of social security pension schemes. This service has been launched across the state through Common Service Centres starting Monday.

Why is a Life Certificate Necessary?

A life certificate proves that the pensioner is alive. This is important to ensure that pension payments are only given to eligible individuals. Sometimes, even after a pensioner’s death, their name remains on the list. This leads to the misuse of government funds.

How the New System Will Benefit the Government

This new system will make the pension system more transparent and reliable. According to Bandana Preyashi, Secretary of the Social Welfare Department, this will ensure that pensions reach the right person at the right time. It will also automatically remove incorrect names from the list.

The Bihar government operates six social security pension schemes for the elderly, widowed women, and people with disabilities. Millions of people receive pension benefits every month under these schemes.
