Magalir Urimai Thogai Scheme 2026மகளிர் உரிமை தொகை திட்டம்
Tamil Nadu's Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme, also known as the KMUT scheme or the TN Rs.1,000 scheme, gives Rs.1,000 every month directly to eligible women heads of families in the state. The money goes straight into the bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) on the 15th of each month. No middlemen, no paperwork queue at some office, no delay. Tamil Nadu has a new government. TVK under CM C. Joseph Vijay won the April 2026 assembly elections. The Rs.1,000 monthly payment continues. TVK's election manifesto promised to raise it to Rs.2,500 per month for women below 60.
Benefits of the Magalir Urimai Thogai Scheme
Direct bank transfer
The amount reaches the account without going through any intermediary. No chance of it being diverted or delayed by local officials. This is one of the cleaner DBT implementations in the country at this scale.
ATM card issued
The Tamil Nadu government also issued ATM cards to beneficiaries so they can withdraw the amount whenever they need it.
No strings attached.
There is no condition on how you spend the money. Some women use it for medicines, some for children's school fees, some as a small savings buffer. The government does not track or restrict usage.
Widows, single women, and differently-abled women are included
The scheme does not limit itself to married women with husbands who earn. If you are the head of the household for any reason, you are eligible.
Transgender individuals are eligible
Tamil Nadu specifically included transgender women heads of households, which most state schemes do not.
One certain income source per month.
For families that depend on daily wages, agriculture, or informal work, having a fixed Rs.1,000 coming in on the 15th changes how the month is planned.
