The old age pension for senior citizens runs through the state welfare department from block level, and the payment goes through DBT to the beneficiary account, which is why the bank account must be in the applicant's own name and linked to Aadhaar. Applying on ServicePlus gives you an acknowledgement number with which the application can be tracked.
