Here is the information about payment monitoring, application checking, identification process, and eligibility criteria for pension. This information also includes where to submit your application and steps to take in case of non-payment in your bank account.
What is e-Labharthi (SSPMIS)?
The Elabharthi Bihar platform and SSPMIS support related functions within pension administration. Use the appropriate service for your task.
| Particular | Details |
|---|---|
| State | Bihar |
| Pension administration | Social Welfare Department |
| e-Labharthi services | Payment records and life-certificate access |
| SSPMIS services | Beneficiary management, application tracking and pension reports |
| Pension categories | Old-age, widow and disability pensions |
| Official websites | elabharthi.bihar.gov.in; sspmis.bihar.gov.in |
| Pension support helpline | 1800 345 6262 |
Together, these services make beneficiary records and payment information easier to access. They help users identify issues before approaching the relevant office.
e-Labharthi Payment Status Check (Step by Step)
Complete your e-Labharthi payment status check through the official website:
- Open the Payment Page: Visit e-Labharthi and select “Check Your Payment Status”.
- Enter the Search Details: Choose the financial year and filter type. Enter your Beneficiary ID, Aadhaar number, or account number, according to the selected option.
- Submit and Review: Use the search button to view the available payment records. Compare these with your bank passbook or statement.
Identify using the number associated with your pension account. In case of any query, make sure that you are referring to the right year and number before contacting the block office.
Payment of dues and the sanction of your application are two separate issues. One is proof of sanction, and the other is proof of receipt.
Pension Application / Approval Status
For an Elabharthi Social Security Pension Management Information System (SSPMIS) application-status enquiry, follow these steps:
- Open the official Search Beneficiary Status page.
- Select your district, block, and available search option.
- Enter the requested identifier and case-sensitive CAPTCHA, then submit.
The output includes application status, sanctions, and remarks, if any. In case of checking Elabharthi pension status, pay attention to the remarks section, as pending verification may require action by the concerned local authority.
How to Complete e-Labharthi KYC and Life Certificate
For Elabharthi KYC and life verification, use an authorised Common Service Centre (CSC) or seek guidance from your block social security office.
- Prepare your Records: Carry Aadhaar, your Beneficiary ID, and bank passbook to help identify the correct pension record.
- Visit an Authorised Centre: Ask the operator to complete the applicable identity and biometric life-verification process.
- Retain Confirmation: Collect the acknowledgement and check that successful verification has been recorded.
The official portal provides Digital Seva Connect and life-certificate printing links. Its notices warn that pending life verification can interrupt pension payments. The notices reviewed do not specify a universal deadline, so confirm the current schedule locally.
Pension Schemes on e-Labharthi
Bihar’s social security pension system covers the following schemes. Official government information confirms a monthly pension of ₹1,100 for eligible beneficiaries.
| Scheme | Intended beneficiaries | Monthly Pension in Bihar |
|---|---|---|
| Mukhyamantri Vridhjan Pension Yojana | Eligible residents aged 60 or above | ₹1,100 |
| Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme | Eligible older people from Below Poverty Line (BPL) households | ₹1,100 |
| Indira Gandhi National Widow Pension Scheme | Eligible widows from BPL households | ₹1,100 |
| Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme | Eligible people meeting prescribed disability and poverty criteria | ₹1,100 |
| Laxmi Bai Social Security Pension Scheme | Eligible widows meeting state criteria | ₹1,100 |
| Bihar State Disability Pension Scheme | Eligible persons with disabilities outside the national scheme’s coverage | ₹1,100 |
The Bihar payment amount should not be confused with the central contribution alone. Scheme-specific eligibility and approval remain necessary.
Eligibility Criteria for Using the Elabharthi Portal
Eligibility depends on the pension scheme, rather than simply having access to the portal.
| Scheme Type | Main Eligibility Checks |
|---|---|
| State old-age pension | Minimum age 60; required identity, residence, and bank records |
| National old-age pension | Minimum age 60 and prescribed BPL criteria |

| National disability pension | Prescribed age, disability severity, and BPL requirements |
| Bihar disability pension | Certified disability of at least 40%; prescribed residence conditions |
Bihar’s state disability scheme has no minimum or maximum age and no specified upper annual-income limit. Confirm all applicable conditions before applying.
How to Register on e-Labharthi
Start through the application service for your chosen scheme:
- For Mukhyamantri Vridhjan Pension Yojana, open the official SSPMIS registration form.
- Enter personal, address, Aadhaar, voter identification, and bank details.
- Upload the requested documents and photograph.
- Review the declaration, submit, and retain your application reference.
For other pensions, consult Bihar ServicePlus or your block office for the appropriate application route. Submission is followed by verification; it does not guarantee approval.
Payment Not Received? Reasons and Fixes
Check the likely cause before submitting another application.
| Possible Reason | Recommended Action |
|---|---|
| Pending life verification | Complete verification at an authorised CSC |
| Missing Aadhaar in beneficiary records | Contact the district Assistant Director of Social Security office |
| Aadhaar not seeded for bank transfers | Ask your bank to verify seeding for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) |
| Incorrect bank details | Request correction through the responsible pension office |
| Application awaiting verification | Review SSPMIS remarks and contact the block office |
| Payment shown but absent from the account | Ask the bank to trace the transaction using available payment details |
Aadhaar linking and Aadhaar seeding are different processes. The official notices specifically warn that missing seeding can interrupt central-scheme DBT payments.
