Bihar Boosts Senior Citizen Pension to ₹1,100: Step-by-Step Guide to Apply Online
Imagine receiving ₹1,100 every month just for being a senior citizen in Bihar — a game-changer for thousands of elderly residents across the state!
The Bihar Mukhyamantri Vriddhjan Pension Yojana (MVPY) is a flagship social security initiative by the Bihar government. Its main aim is to provide financial support to senior citizens across the state. Recently, the pension amount increased from ₹400 to ₹1,100 per month.
Moreover, this hike applies not only to senior citizens but also to divyangs (persons with disabilities) and widows, giving them much-needed economic relief.
To apply for the MVPY, applicants must meet certain criteria:
Age must be 60 years or above.
Must be a permanent resident of Bihar.
Government retirees are not eligible.
Those already receiving benefits under other government pensions or social security schemes cannot apply.
This ensures that the scheme reaches the people who genuinely need it most.
Applying for the pension has become easier with the online process. Follow these steps carefully:
Visit the official homepage and click on ‘Register for MVPY’.
Enter your Aadhaar number and click on ‘Validate Aadhaar’.
Complete Aadhaar verification successfully.
Fill in all the required details carefully.
Double-check your information and submit the form.
After verification, the pension amount will be directly transferred to your bank account.
This stepwise online procedure ensures a smooth and transparent process for all applicants.
From July 2025, the monthly pension rose from ₹400 to ₹1,100. The increase benefits several schemes under the Bihar government, including:
Chief Minister Old Age Pension Scheme (MVPY)
Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme
