How to Check Bihar Pension e-KYC Status Online
Beneficiaries can verify whether their Life Certificate has been successfully updated by following these steps:
- Visit the official e-Labharthi portal: elabharthi.bih.nic.in.
- Navigate to the “Payment Report” section in the main menu.
- Click on the link labeled “Check Beneficiary/Payment Status”.
- Select your District, Block, and Beneficiary ID (or Aadhaar Number).
- Click “Search”. Your current pension status and e-KYC validity date will be displayed on the screen.
Process to Complete e-KYC (Life Certificate)
The e-KYC process requires biometric authentication (fingerprint or iris scan) and cannot be done entirely from a personal mobile phone without a biometric device. Beneficiaries must visit one of the following locations:
- Common Service Center (CSC): Visit your nearest CSC (Vasudha Kendra) with your Aadhaar card. The operator will perform the biometric scan. A nominal fee (approx. ₹5 – ₹15) may apply.
- Block Office: Visit the Social Welfare counter at your local Block Development Office. This service is typically free of charge.
Note: If your pension has been stopped due to non-verification, it will resume automatically in the next payment cycle once the e-KYC is successfully updated on the portal.
