Bihar completes verification of 1.03 crore pensioners; Madhubani leads

The Bihar government has successfully completed life verification for 1.03 crore pensioners across the state, marking a substantial achievement in pension administration. The verification process ensures that pension benefits reach only eligible and living beneficiaries, strengthening the integrity of the state's social security system.

Madhubani district has emerged as the leading performer in completing beneficiary verification, setting an exemplary standard for other districts. Patna district, meanwhile, continues to host the largest concentration of registered pensioners in the state, reflecting the demographic distribution of the elderly population across Bihar.

State authorities have issued an advisory to remaining pensioners who have not completed their life verification to do so urgently. The verification process is essential for maintaining uninterrupted pension payments and preventing fraudulent claims. Officials have established verification centers across districts to help beneficiaries complete the mandatory requirements at their convenience.
