AI SummaryDBT Bihar Payment Status: Bihar government sends money under many welfare schemes straight into Aadhaar linked bank accounts through the DBT system. Pension, scholarship, labour and agriculture scheme payments reach people this way, so there is no middleman and the records stay clear. Bihar govt. paid ₹10,000 to lakhs of women under Mahila Rojgar Yojana just before the 2025 assembly elections.
People getting benefit under these schemes can check their DBT Bihar payment status online using Aadhaar number, mobile number, beneficiary ID or bank account number. This article explains each method, along with the official portals and helpline numbers you can use.
DBT Bihar Payment Status Check Online
There is no single DBT Bihar portal where you can enter Aadhaar or mobile number and see the payment status of every scheme at one place. Each department handles its own payments. PFMS covers central and centrally sponsored schemes, while state department portals take care of the rest. The direct links and steps for each method are given below.
Check DBT Payment Status on PFMS Portal using Bank Account Number
If you are the beneficiary of PM Kisan Scheme or any other central sector or centrally sponsored scheme in Bihar, you can track the payment status directly on the PFMS portal. The process is simple and takes only a few minutes.
STEP 1 - Visit the official PFMS website and open the PFMS payment check page.
STEP 2 - Enter the bank account number, fill in the captcha word verification and click on "Send OTP on SMS / Sandes App".
STEP 3 - You will get the OTP on the mobile number registered with your bank. In case the OTP does not reach your phone, install the Sandes app from the official Sandes portal and read the OTP there.
STEP 4 - Enter the OTP on the PFMS page and the payment status will be displayed on the screen.

Agriculture Department Schemes Payment Status

To check the status, open the DBT Agriculture Bihar portal and pick the status option for the scheme you applied under. Registration status can be checked with the registration ID, Aadhaar number or mobile number along with the captcha. For scheme wise grants such as input subsidy, the 13 digit registration number and the season are needed.

FAQ's
Do I need to enter Aadhaar number to check DBT Bihar payment status?
It depends on the scheme. Some portals accept Aadhaar number, some accept mobile number or beneficiary ID, and PFMS works only with the bank account number. Check the form on the concerned portal to see which detail is needed.
Is there one DBT Bihar portal for all schemes?
No. PFMS handles central and centrally sponsored schemes, while state schemes like agriculture, labour and scholarship payments are checked on their own department portals.
What should I do if the payment status shows failed or rejected?
Check that your bank account is active and linked with Aadhaar. If the details are correct and the payment still shows failed, contact the scheme helpline or your bank branch with the transaction ID for a quick fix.
