'Kalaignar Magalir Urimai' Scheme: How To Apply, Check Status Of 1000 Rupee Scheme Online?

Tamil Nadu Chief Miniter M K Stalin on Friday launched the DMK government's flagship Rs 1,000 monthly financial assistance scheme for women on the birth anniversary of Dravidian icon, the late C N Annadurai.

The 'Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam' (Kalaignar Scheme for Right of Women) launched the scheme from Kancheepuram which happens to be the hometown of Annadurai, the DMK founder who heralded Tamil Nadu's first non-Congress government in independent India, in 1967.

The DMK government has identified as many as 1.06 crore women (1,06,50,000) as beneficiaries under the plan and the Rs 1,000 assistance is paid to beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer.

Who are eligible for the scheme?
All women and transgenders above 21 years can apply for the scheme. It has to be noted that unmarried and widows, who are heads of their households, are eligible for the 'Kalaignar Magalir Urimai' scheme.

Who Cannot Avail The Benefit?
Applicants must have an annual income below Rs 2.5 lakh to be eligible for the scheme, making it especially advantageous for financially disadvantaged women. Land ownership is also a consideration, with applicants permitted to possess less than 10 acres of dry land or five acres of wetland.

Besides income and land ownership, the annual household power consumption should be below 3,600 units. These standards are intended to focus aid on households experiencing real financial difficulties.

Notably, the wife of government employees (state and central), bank employees, income taxpayers, professional taxpayers, pensioners, and elected representatives of local bodies are not eligible for the scheme. Also, the women should not have a car or any four-wheeler at home.

How To Register?
Eligible women should visit nearby ration shops. Each family can designate one female member on the ration card to avail the benefit. If a man is listed as the family head on the ration card, his wife will be eligible for the scheme. It's essential to note that only one beneficiary is permitted per family's ration card.

How Will The Beneficiaries Get Money?
The government will directly transfer the amount to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. Also, a bank ATM card will be issued in order to ensure that they draw the amount easily.
