 +<WRAP info>**Direct answer.** Under the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai (KMUT) scheme, eligible women heads of household in Tamil Nadu receive Rs 1,000 per month transferred directly to their Aadhaar-linked bank account. To check your beneficiary or payment status, log in with your registered mobile number and OTP at [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in|kmut.tn.gov.in]].</WRAP>
 +
 +===== What is the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai Scheme? =====
 +
 +The Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai scheme is Tamil Nadu's direct basic-income programme for women who head their households. The Chief Minister announced it on 27 March 2023. The word "Urimai Thogai" translates as "rightful sum," reflecting the government's recognition that women's domestic and caregiving labour has long gone uncompensated.
 +
 +Under the scheme, each eligible woman receives Rs 1,000 every month, transferred straight to her bank account through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism. The scheme does not require the woman to spend the money on any specific purpose - it is unconditional support for economic independence.
 +
 +The scheme is significant for its scale. The Tamil Nadu government aims to cover approximately one crore women heads of household across the state, making it one of India's largest state-level women's cash-transfer programmes. For a comparison with similar programmes in other states, see [[check-status:maiya-samman-yojana-status|Maiya Samman Yojana status check]] (Jharkhand) and [[check-status:lakshmir-bhandar-status|Lakshmir Bhandar status check]] (West Bengal).
 +
 +===== Who is Eligible? =====
 +
 +The scheme targets women who are economically marginalised. Based on information on [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in/faq.html|kmut.tn.gov.in/faq]], an applicant must satisfy the "family head" definition AND at least one of the income or resource thresholds below.
 +
 +**Who qualifies as a family head:**
 +
 +  * A woman listed as the family head in the household's ration card
 +  * The female spouse of a male family head (treated as the family head for this scheme)
 +  * Unmarried women heading their own household
 +  * Widowed women heading their own household
 +  * Transgender persons heading a household
 +
 +**Economic thresholds (at least one must apply):**
 +
 +  * Annual family income below Rs 2.5 lakh
 +  * Agricultural landholding below 5 acres of wetland or 10 acres of dryland
 +  * Annual household electricity consumption below 3,600 units
 +
 +If your family satisfies any one of the three conditions above, and your family card confirms your household head status, you are likely eligible. Verify the current conditions at [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in/faq.html|kmut.tn.gov.in/faq]] before applying, as the government may revise thresholds.
 +
 +**Who is NOT eligible:**
 +
 +A family is excluded if any member falls into one of the following categories:
 +
 +  * Annual income above Rs 2.5 lakh
 +  * Files an income-tax return
 +  * Owns a GST-registered business
 +  * Is a current or retired government employee
 +  * Is an elected representative (MP, MLA, local body member)
 +  * Owns a four-wheeler vehicle
 +  * Already receives a government pension from a separate scheme
 +
 +Some exceptions apply. Families living in government housing may qualify despite other restrictions, and families with severely disabled members in specified categories may also be considered, as per the official FAQ.
 +
 +===== Documents Required =====
 +
 +The scheme deliberately keeps the documentation light. Based on the official FAQ, you do not need separate income certificates or land records at the application stage. The following are needed:
 +
 +  - Aadhaar card of the applicant
 +  - Family ration card (confirming family head status)
 +  - Bank account linked to your Aadhaar number
 +
 +Your Aadhaar must be seeded to your bank account for the DBT credit to reach you. If you are unsure whether your Aadhaar is linked, see [[check-status:aadhaar-status|Aadhaar status check]] for how to verify and update the linkage.
 +
 +===== How to Check Your Beneficiary and Payment Status =====
 +
 +**Step 1: Go to the official portal**
 +
 +Open [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in|kmut.tn.gov.in]] on your phone or computer. This is the only official platform for KMUT status checks. Do not use third-party websites or apps.
 +
 +**Step 2: Log in with your registered mobile number**
 +
 +Click the login option and enter your registered mobile number. The portal sends an OTP to that number. Enter the OTP within the time limit (approximately 90 seconds) to access your account. If the OTP does not arrive, tap "Resend OTP" after the timer expires.
 +
 +**Step 3: View your application or payment status**
 +
 +After logging in, the portal displays your application status. If your application has been approved, it will show whether payments have been released and, if so, the payment dates.
 +
 +**Step 4: Confirm in your bank account**
 +
 +Once a payment is credited, it appears in your bank passbook or statement as **ACHCR** or a **DBT Government** entry. If the portal shows a payment released but your account shows no credit, the delay may be due to Aadhaar-bank seeding issues. See [[check-status:dbt-money-not-credited-fix|DBT money not credited - how to fix]] for troubleshooting steps.
 +
 +**Alternative: Check via SMS**
 +
 +The government sends SMS alerts to your registered mobile number when payment is processed or when your application status changes. Keep your registered mobile number active and charged. The SMS service was notified to begin from 18 September 2023, as per the official portal.
 +
 +**Alternative: Visit an e-Service Centre**
 +
 +If you do not have internet access, visit the nearest Tamil Nadu e-Service Centre (e-Sevai). The operator can look up your KMUT status using your Aadhaar or ration card number.
 +
 +===== What the Payment Looks Like in Your Account =====
 +
 +Many beneficiaries are confused when they cannot identify the credit in their bank passbook. The KMUT payment comes through the same DBT channel used for most government transfers. Look for entries marked:
 +
 +  * ACHCR
 +  * DBT Government
 +
 +The amount is Rs 1,000 per month. If you see an entry of Rs 12,000, it may be an arrears payment covering multiple months in one transfer. If you believe you are enrolled but have never received any credit, follow the troubleshooting section below.
 +
 +===== Troubleshooting: Payment Not Received =====
 +
 +If you are enrolled but the money has not arrived, work through the following checks before visiting an office:
 +
 +**1. Aadhaar-bank seeding not done or failed**
 +The most common reason for missed DBT credits is a broken or missing Aadhaar-to-bank-account link. Check [[check-status:aadhaar-status|your Aadhaar status]] to verify whether your Aadhaar is active and linked to the correct bank account.
 +
 +**2. Bank account is inactive or frozen**
 +Accounts with no transactions for an extended period may be frozen by the bank. Visit your branch with your passbook and Aadhaar to re-activate it.
 +
 +**3. Application still under review**
 +If you applied recently, the processing may still be ongoing. Log in to [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in|kmut.tn.gov.in]] to check whether your status shows "Approved" or "Under Review."
 +
 +**4. Application was rejected**
 +The government notifies rejections via SMS (from 19 September 2023 onwards). If you received a rejection SMS, you can appeal within 30 days of the notification. Submit your appeal through an e-Service Centre to the District Revenue Officer.
 +
 +**5. Payment delayed but not absent**
 +Occasional disbursement delays happen at the government's end. If your portal status shows payment released but the bank shows nothing after 5 to 7 working days, see [[check-status:dbt-money-not-credited-fix|DBT money not credited]] for next steps.
 +
 +===== How to Apply if You Have Not Yet Enrolled =====
 +
 +If you are eligible but have not applied, enrol through any of the following:
 +
 +  * Log in or register at [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in|kmut.tn.gov.in]] and complete the online application
 +  * Visit the nearest e-Service Centre (e-Sevai) with your Aadhaar and family card
 +  * Contact your local ward secretary or revenue department office
 +
 +The portal registration form asks for your name, date of birth, district, mobile number, and an OTP-verified login. Verify whether fresh enrolment is currently open by checking the portal, as the government runs enrolment in phases and may temporarily pause new registrations.
 +
 +===== Comparing KMUT with Similar State Schemes =====
 +
 +Tamil Nadu's KMUT is one of several state-level women's income-support schemes in India. If you or a family member lives in another state, similar programmes include the [[check-status:ladki-bahin-yojana-status|Ladki Bahin Yojana status check]] (Maharashtra) and [[check-status:maiya-samman-yojana-status|Maiya Samman Yojana]] (Jharkhand). The eligibility rules, amounts, and status-check routes differ by state - always use the respective state's official portal.
 +
 +===== FAQ =====
 +
 +==== How do I check my KMUT payment status online? ====
 +
 +Go to [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in|kmut.tn.gov.in]], log in with your registered mobile number and OTP, and view your application and payment status. You can also check your bank passbook for an ACHCR or DBT Government entry of Rs 1,000.
 +
 +==== My application was rejected. Can I appeal? ====
 +
 +Yes. You have 30 days from the rejection SMS to file an appeal. Submit your appeal at an e-Service Centre (e-Sevai). Your appeal goes to the District Revenue Officer. Carry your Aadhaar card, ration card, and any supporting documents that address the rejection reason.
 +
 +==== I own a motorcycle. Am I excluded from the scheme? ====
 +
 +No. The four-wheeler restriction covers cars and similar vehicles, not two-wheelers. A motorcycle or scooter does not disqualify your family. Verify this at [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in/faq.html|kmut.tn.gov.in/faq]] if your application has been queried on this ground.
 +
 +==== My family has a government employee. Are we completely excluded? ====
 +
 +The exclusion applies if a family member is a current or retired government employee. If you are unsure whether a particular employment type counts, check the official FAQ at [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in/faq.html|kmut.tn.gov.in/faq]] or consult your District Collectorate.
 +
 +==== Can I receive KMUT along with other government pensions? ====
 +
 +No. Families where a member already receives a government pension from a separate scheme are excluded from KMUT. The scheme specifically targets families not covered by existing pension programmes.
 +
 +==== The portal shows my payment as "released" but my bank shows nothing. What should I do? ====
 +
 +Wait 5 to 7 working days, as ACHCR transfers can take time to post. If the credit still does not appear, check whether your Aadhaar is correctly linked to your bank account, and whether your account is active. See [[check-status:dbt-money-not-credited-fix|DBT money not credited - fix guide]] for a step-by-step resolution process.
 +
 +==== Is the Rs 1,000 per month amount likely to increase? ====
 +
 +The current benefit is Rs 1,000 per month as confirmed on [[https://kmut.tn.gov.in|kmut.tn.gov.in]]. Any revision would be announced by the Tamil Nadu government. Monitor the official portal for updates; do not rely on news reports for confirmed figures.
