Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has transferred ₹1,205.91 crore through Direct Benefit Transfer to more than 1.09 crore pensioners, each receiving about ₹1,100 before the sixth Mahaprav.
The state’s Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary announced that a total of ₹1,205.91 crore has been transferred to the bank accounts of more than 1.09 crore social‑security pensioners.
The disbursement was made through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system ahead of the sixth Mahaprav, ensuring that each pensioner receives roughly ₹1,100 directly in their own account.
The move is part of Bihar’s ongoing effort to streamline welfare payments and reduce delays in pension disbursement, a key concern for the state’s large elderly population.
Officials said the funds will be credited within the next few days, and the state will monitor the transaction to confirm that all beneficiaries have received the payment.
