Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Tn — Calculations & Slabs for FY 2026-27

To qualify, the applicant must be a female resident of Tamil Nadu aged 21 or older. The family's annual income must be below ₹2.5 Lakh, they must own less than 5 acres of wetland (or less than 10 acres of dry land), and consume less than 3,600 units of electricity per year. Furthermore, the family must not own a four-wheeler or have any government employees/income tax payers.

Eligible women can apply through local e-Sevai centers, designated ration shops (PDS outlets), or via the official state registry portal. The government holds special registration camps periodically. If you were a beneficiary of the previous Kalaignar Magalir Urimai scheme, your profile is being transitioned under the updated framework.

The scheme provides a monthly rights assistance of ₹2,500. This is credited directly via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the Aadhaar-linked bank account of the designated female head of the family, totaling ₹30,000 per year. This ensures full compliance with the latest regulations, allowing you to estimate values correctly and avoid common filing errors.

The required documents are: 1. Smart Ration Card (TPDS card). 2. Aadhaar Card. 3. Income Certificate / Self-Declaration of income. 4. Electricity Bills (to verify annual unit usage under 3,600 units). 5. Land revenue records (Patta/Chitta if agricultural land is owned). 6. Bank Account Passbook seeded with Aadhaar.

You can verify the values against the official notifications listed in our data sources section at the bottom of the page.
