How DBT Pension Payments Work in India (Simplified Process):
- Beneficiary applies through a state pension portal or CSC
- Aadhaar is seeded/linked to the bank account
- Bank activates DBT on NPCI Aadhaar Payment Bridge
- State DBT system/PFMS approves beneficiary record
- Pension is sent via Direct Benefit Transfer
- Beneficiary checks status on official dashboards
- If payment fails — Aadhaar seeding, DBT mapper, or eKYC is usually the reason
Most Common Problems Faced by Pension Beneficiaries:
- Pension approved but not credited to bank
- Aadhaar not linked to bank account
- DBT inactive on NPCI Aadhaar Mapper
- eKYC pending or failed
