One of CM Vijay's most-anticipated election promises is the ₹2,500 monthly financial assistance for women — a direct cash transfer scheme targeting women under 60 years below the poverty line. The promise was central to TVK's 2026 manifesto, and the Vijay government has confirmed it will be included in the inaugural Budget session expected in July 2026, alongside several other flagship welfare schemes from the Vetri Tamizhagam blueprint.

How to Apply — What We Know So Far
The government has not yet opened applications for the ₹2,500 scheme as the Budget session that will fund it is still pending. Based on the Vetri Tamizhagam framework, the scheme will likely require:
- Valid Tamil Nadu ration card (BPL/PHH category)
- Aadhaar card linked to a bank account
- Age proof (below 60 years)
- Women heads of household given priority
Once the Budget is passed (expected July 2026), applications will likely be accepted at Amma Thedi Oorvalam (Village Service Centres), Taluk offices, and potentially via the TN e-Governance portal at tn.gov.in. Watch VettriThalapathy.com for live updates when applications open.
