If your child's name is missing from the Thalliki Vandanam (TV) Eligible List 2026, or TV status shows that your family has been declared ineligible because of Aadhaar, land, electricity, vehicle ownership, Income Tax, Government employee, Rice Card, or property records, you can submit a Thalliki Vandanam grievance from 22 July to 3 August 2026 through any Village or Ward Secretariat or WhatsApp Governance.
Which Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Type Should I Select for My Problem?
The Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Module provides different complaint categories depending on why the family was declared ineligible.
| Grievance Type | When to Use | Required Documents | Verifying Authority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Wrong | Student or parent details are incorrect in the database. |
| SGSW Department |
| Details Not Found | Student information is not available in the database. |
| SGSW Department |
| Electricity | Electricity consumption data is inaccurate. | Last six months' average electricity consumption report | Concerned Electricity Boards |
| Four Wheeler | A four-wheeler is incorrectly linked to a household member. |
| Transport Department |
| Government Employee | A family member is wrongly shown as a Government employee. |
| Joint Collector |
| Income Tax | A family member is wrongly shown as an Income Tax payer. |
| Joint Collector |
| Land | Land ownership details are incorrect. | Bhu Druvikarana (Land Verification) Certificate issued by the MRO | Revenue Department |
| Not Having Rice Card | The family is wrongly shown as not having a Rice Card. | Existing Rice Card | Civil Supplies Department |
| Urban Property | Municipal property records are incorrect |
| Municipal Authority |
Whose Aadhaar Is Used to Raise Thalliki Vandanam Grievance?
The Digital Assistant can retrieve the family's details using the Aadhaar number of any household member linked with the student. The grievance is then raised against the household member whose name caused the ineligibility. For example:
- If the father is wrongly shown as an Income Tax payer, the complaint is raised against the father's name.
- If the brother is incorrectly associated with a four-wheeler, the correction request is raised against the brother's vehicle.
Data Wrong vs Details Not Found in Thalliki Vandanam Grievance:
The Data Wrong and Details Not Found grievance options apply in different situations in the Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Module.
| Grievance Type | When to Use | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Data Wrong | Use this option when the student's or parent's already exists in the system, but one or more details are wrong. | Wrong Aadhaar number, incorrect mother or guardian details, spelling mistakes, incorrect household mapping, deceased mother still shown as the beneficiary, etc. |
| Details Not Found | Use this option when the student's record is completely missing from the database and cannot be retrieved (NOT IN TV DATA SET). | Student information does not appear using Aadhaar or School Enrolment ID, newly admitted student not available in the database, etc. |
Fixing Wrong Land Records
Old land documents alone may not resolve the eligibility issue unless the underlying revenue records are updated. Depending on the issue, one of the following revenue corrections may be needed before registering a Land grievance:
- Land Subdivision – if the land is jointly held under the same LP (Land Parcel) and individual shares have not yet been subdivided.
- F-Line Survey – if the land extent recorded in the Government records is more than actually exists, and a survey is required to determine the correct extent.
- Mutation – if the survey number or ownership details have not been updated in the revenue records after a lawful transfer.
- Khata Deseeding – if a Khata number that does not belong to your household is wrongly linked to your name.
- Adangal Correction – if the land classification is incorrect, such as dry land being recorded as wet land or vice versa.
After the necessary corrections have been completed, obtain the Bhu Druvikarana (Land Verification) Certificate from the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) or ROR 1B at grama/ward sachivalayam and upload it.
Electricity Issues: Two Different Solutions Based on the Problem
Electricity-related ineligibility can happen for different reasons. Before submitting a grievance, identify the issue because the required solution is different in each case.
Case 1: Wrong Meter Connection
If the electricity service (meter) is wrongly linked to your household, the incorrect service connection should first be deseeded (removed from your household) through the Village/Ward Secretariat or the Electricity Department. After deseeding is completed, the Electricity grievance can be registered through the Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Module.
Case 2: High Consumption Error
If the electricity service belongs to your household but the recorded consumption is inaccurate, deseeding is not needed. Instead, submit the last six months' average electricity consumption report while raising the Electricity grievance.
Government Employee Issue: When a Family Member Is Wrongly Shown
Government Employee grievance applies in the following situations:
- The person has never been a Government employee.
- A person who was previously working on an outsourcing, contract, or other non-permanent basis is still being shown as a Government employee even though they are no longer employed.
- A person whose salary is below ₹10,000 per month, where the scheme provides an exemption, is incorrectly shown as a Government employee for eligibility purposes.
- The wrong household member has been linked with a Government employee.
The official Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Module User Manual does not specify a fixed list of documents for Government Employee grievances. It instructs the operator to upload documents that prove the employment entry is wrong.
Depending on the nature of the issue, supporting documents may include:
- Relieving Order or Resignation Acceptance Letter – if the person's previous employment record needs to be corrected.
- Employer Certificate from the relevant department confirming that the person is not employed as a Government employee based on the CFMS ID (Comprehensive Financial Management System)
- Salary Certificate, if applicable, showing that the monthly salary is drawn less than ₹10,000.
Thalliki Vandanam Income Tax Grievance
An Income Tax grievance applies when a household member is wrongly identified as an Income Tax payer in the Thalliki Vandanam eligibility database. To dispute this, submit a CA-certified Form 26AS (Annual Tax Statement). The Joint Collector verifies the documents with departmental records before taking a decision.
Four-Wheeler Sold or Scrapped – Documents Required
Many families are declared ineligible because a vehicle is still shown against a household member even though it has already been sold or scrapped. In such cases, the grievance should be filed against the household member whose name appears in the Beneficiary Management portal, not the new owner of the vehicle.
Case 1: Vehicle Sold to Another Person
If the RC is not available because the vehicle was sold, the applicant should submit any available sale agreement or any document showing transfer of ownership.
Case 2: Vehicle Scrapped
If the vehicle has been sold for scrap, the applicant should upload any available scrap sale receipt, scrapping certificate, or vehicle disposal proof. The submitted document should establish that the vehicle is no longer with the household member.
What Should I Do if the Mother Has Passed Away but Her Name Appears in the Eligible List?
Case 1: Mother deceased issue before final eligible list generation
If the mother has passed away and her bank account is not available for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), the WEA login in the NBM portal may show the status "NPCI Null" during the NPCI verification process. This happens before the final eligible list is published.
The WEA (Welfare & Education Assistant) should process the case through the NBM portal by selecting the "Died" option for the deceased mother. The system then automatically displays the remaining members of the child's household in a drop-down list.
The WEA should select the eligible household member, such as the father or another eligible guardian. After verification and approval, the financial assistance is credited to the selected person's Aadhaar-linked bank account through DBT.
Case 2: Mother is shown in the final eligible list after publication
If the mother has passed away but her name is still shown as the beneficiary in the Thalliki Vandanam eligible list, the family should visit any Village or Ward Secretariat and request the operator to raise a Data Wrong grievance option to update the Guardian's Aadhaar Card (Father or Legal Guardian).
Grievance for Multiple Ineligibility Reasons
If you're ineligible for multiple reasons, a separate grievance must be raised for each, when different household members are involved. For example, if the father is wrongly shown as an Income Tax payer and the grandfather is wrongly linked to excess land, two separate grievances should be filed.
Student and Mother Household Mapping Issue
If the Record Verification Report in the NBM Portal (WEA Login) incorrectly shows that the student and mother are not in the same household mapping, no grievance needs to be submitted.
These cases appear with the following status:
- Eligibility Status: Pending for Verification
- Remarks: Record under verification
Such cases are processed through GSWS backend validation rather than the Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Module.
If the backend validation confirms that the student and mother are correctly mapped and all other eligibility conditions are satisfied, the beneficiary's name will appear in the eligible list after 3 August 2026.
How To Check Thalliki Vandanam Grievance?
Method 1: Check Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Status Online (NBM Portal)
Visit the NBM Portal (https://bm-sgsw.ap.gov.in) home page and select the grievance status option. Enter your Grievance ID (Complaint Tracking Number) or Aadhaar number to view the current status of your grievance. No login is needed.
Method 2: Check Grievance Status at a Village/Ward Secretariat.
You can also visit your nearest Village or Ward Secretariat and provide your Grievance ID or Aadhaar to the Digital Assistant. The Digital Assistant can check and inform you of the current status of your grievance.
Common Questions About Thalliki Vandanam Grievances
Do I Need to Tell the Operator the Reason for My Grievance?
No. The Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Module automatically detects the reason for your ineligibility and shows the operator only the applicable complaint type(s).
Can I Raise a Thalliki Vandanam Grievance Through WhatsApp Governance?
Yes. Citizens can also raise a Thalliki Vandanam grievance through the WhatsApp Governance service without visiting a Village or Ward Secretariat.
Can I Submit the Same Grievance Again?
No. If the earlier grievance has already been resolved, there is no need to apply another grievance unless the issue continues to exist or the Government issues fresh instructions.
Is There Any Fee to Register a Grievance?
No. Submission of a Thalliki Vandanam grievance through the Village or Ward Secretariat is a Government service, and no official fee is charged for raising the correction request.
Can I Apply Thalliki Vandanam Grievance at Any Village Secretariat?
Yes. Citizens may apply the grievance through any available Village or Ward Secretariat in Andhra Pradesh, even if it is not their mapped Secretariat.
Can a Family Member Submit the Grievance on My Behalf?
Yes. It is not mandatory for the child, mother, father, or the person against whom the grievance is being raised to visit the Secretariat personally. Any family member can submit the grievance on behalf of the household, provided the information and supporting documents are available.
What happens if the wrong grievance type is selected?
If the Digital Assistant accidentally selects the wrong grievance type, it will be rejected by the verifying authority because it does not match the actual reason for ineligibility. Once the grievance is rejected, a fresh grievance can be registered under the correct category.
Conclusion
The Thalliki Vandanam grievance process provides families with an opportunity to correct incorrect eligibility records before the Government finalizes beneficiary payments.
Selecting the correct grievance category, submitting the proofs, and preserving the Grievance ID can help ensure that the responsible department verifies the case.
However, submission of a complaint does not guarantee eligibility; the final decision depends on departmental scrutiny and meeting all applicable Thalliki Vandanam eligibility conditions.
