Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thogai June 2026 Payment Update
Money under this scheme is sent on the 15th of every month straight to the bank account through DBT payment. For June 2026, the ₹1,000 was transferred on schedule on 15 June, same as the May instalment. So far the payment is going on as usual every month.
During the election campaign, Chief Minister Vijay had promised a monthly support of ₹2,500 for women, free bus travel, and an unemployment allowance for graduates. After taking office, he said the government needs some time to roll out the bigger promises in a planned way. He also told the Assembly that women welfare schemes will not be stopped suddenly, which gave relief to beneficiaries.

Who Gets the ₹1,000 Monthly Payment
This scheme gives ₹1,000 every month to women who are the head of their family in Tamil Nadu. Before checking your status, it helps to know if you fit the basic rules of the scheme.
- The woman must be 21 years of age or above to get the monthly amount.
- The yearly family income should be less than ₹2.5 lakh, so well-off families are not covered.
- Only one woman per family can get the ₹1,000, usually the one named as family head in the ration card.
Over 1.15 crore women got the benefit in the first phase, and around 17 lakh more were added later, taking the total to about 1.31 crore beneficiaries across the state.
What to Do If Payment Did Not Come
Sometimes the status shows pending or the money does not reach even after the 15th. There can be a few reasons for this, like a wrong bank account, an Aadhaar that is not linked to the bank, or the account being inactive. First check the status on the portal to see the exact reason shown there.
If your application was rejected or the payment keeps failing, you can file a grievance on the KMUT grievance portal to get your case looked at again. You can also call the scheme helpline at 044-25619208 for help, or visit the nearest fair price shop or e-Sevai centre and ask the staff to fix the bank or Aadhaar details.
