Amma Vodi 2026 – now Thalliki Vandanam, release date 19 June
If you are searching for Amma Vodi 2026, here is the key change: the Andhra Pradesh government has replaced Amma Vodi with the Thalliki Vandanam scheme. The benefit is now ₹15,000 per year for every school-going child, and disbursal for this cycle starts on 19 June 2026. The money goes to the mother’s bank account, the same way Amma Vodi worked. Last updated: 11.06.2026.
Release date and amount
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Scheme now called | Thalliki Vandanam (replaces Amma Vodi) |
| Amount | ₹15,000 per child per year |
| Paid to mother | ₹13,000 (₹2,000 retained for school upkeep) |
| Release date | 19 June 2026 |
| Beneficiaries | About 42.69 lakh mothers, 67.27 lakh students |
The big difference from the old Amma Vodi: the earlier scheme paid one mother once regardless of how many children she had. Thalliki Vandanam pays ₹15,000 for each child, so families with two or three school-going children receive more.
How to check the eligible list and status
- Go to the GSWS portal at gsws-nbm.ap.gov.in/BM.
- Enter the mother’s Aadhaar number.
- The page shows whether your name is in the eligible list and the payment status for the current cycle.
You can also check at your village or ward secretariat, where the eligible list is displayed and the Digital Assistant can look up your status.
Who is eligible
- The child must be studying in Class 1 to 12, including intermediate, in a government, aided or recognised private school or junior college in Andhra Pradesh.
- Household income up to ₹10,000 a month in rural areas, ₹12,000 in urban areas.

Old Amma Vodi beneficiaries – what to do
If you received Amma Vodi earlier, you do not need to register again from scratch. The data has been carried over, but you should still verify your name in the eligible list on the GSWS portal because the income and attendance rules are checked afresh under Thalliki Vandanam. If your name is missing, raise it at the secretariat with your rice card and the child’s school details.
