Old age pension not received? 6 reasons and what to do
- Bank account not seeded with Aadhaar on NPCI: just linking Aadhaar is not enough. Check “Bank Seeding Status” on myAadhaar, or fill the NPCI mapping form at your bank. Money goes to the account most recently seeded with Aadhaar.
- e-KYC or yearly verification pending: e-Labharthi in Bihar, yearly verification in Rajasthan (e-Mitra / RajSSP app), Samagra e-KYC in Madhya Pradesh, e-KYC in Himachal. If it is not done on time, pension stops.
- Life certificate not given: states like Haryana and Maharashtra need it every year. In Maharashtra you can give it from home through the “Beneficiary Satyapan App”.
- Name or age mismatch: if the name or date of birth differs between Aadhaar, bank and pension form, the payment fails.
- Account dormant or joint: Bihar needs an account in your name only. If there are no transactions for a long time, the account can become dormant.
- Delay from the government: in 2026 payments were stuck for many months in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. In that case your name is not removed; the money comes later with arrears.

Centre (NSAP) vs state share: how the amount is made
Under the National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP), the central government gives ₹200 to BPL elderly people (₹500 above 80 years), ₹300 to BPL widows and ₹300 to people with 80%+ disability. States add their own share, from ₹50 to ₹3,800. That is why Haryana pays ₹3,200 and Madhya Pradesh pays ₹600. Many states also pay pension from their own schemes without BPL, such as Bihar’s Mukhyamantri Vridhjan Pension.
