TN govt announces schedule for reviewing KMUT eligibility; periodicity of review to be monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annual; total beneficiaries at 1.05 crore; review to be done on basis of updated info; auto-renewal setup to ensure beneficiaries.
The Tamil Nadu government on Saturday announced a schedule for reviewing the eligibility of beneficiaries under the Kalaignar Mahalir Urimai Thittam (KMUT), a scheme that provides an assistance of ₹1,000 per month to women.
The periodicity of review will be monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annual, according to a government order (G.O.) issued by the Department of Special Programme Implementation.
A senior official said that as of now, the total number of beneficiaries was about 1.05 crore. Once the scrutiny of appeals filed for re-consideration is over, the tally is expected to be around 1.1 crore.
The review will be done on the basis of updated information, as available with the government. The names of those who are found to be ineligible will be deleted from the database of beneficiaries.
The monthly review will be done with respect to the database of death register; Integrated Financial and Human Resources Management System (IFHRMS); employees of local bodies and public sector enterprises coming under the control of the State government; beneficiaries of unorganised workers’ welfare boards; and social security pensions, besides data concerning the issue of income certificates and registration of four-wheelers and heavy vehicles.
The quarterly exercise will be carried out in relation to the database of beneficiaries under the public distribution system; payment of Goods and Services Tax (GST); and the data available on web portals of different arms of the State government — Tamil Nilam, Registration Department and GRAINS (meant for farmers).
The half-yearly review will deal with the database of those paying professional tax in addition to consumption pattern of electricity, as recorded by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited.
