Key Questions Answered
Starting September 2026, social security pensions are provided through the Aadhaar-based ABPS system in accordance with Central Government guidelines, replacing previous disbursement methods to benefit millions of recipients.
Disruptions can occur due to the non-linking of Aadhaar, errors in Aadhaar details, inactive bank accounts, or failures to properly register the bank account in NPCI mapping even if Aadhaar is linked.
Beneficiaries must contact their bank branch to verify Aadhaar linkage, e-KYC, and proper NPCI mapping, and submit necessary documents to the Social Security Scheme Special Tahsildar's office or approach local help centers.
