Commissionerate of Rehabilitation and
Welfare of Non Resident Tamils.
Your identity as a Non-Resident Tamil — unlocking welfare schemes, insurance, pension and other services from the Government of Tamil Nadu.
The NRT ID card is a bridge to connect Tamils living outside Tamil Nadu with the Government of Tamil Nadu. This ID card gives every Non-Resident Tamil an opportunity to avail all the services and facilities provided by the Non-Resident Tamils Welfare Board now and in the future. Applicants should have worked outside Tamil Nadu within India or abroad.
The primary objective of creating the NRT database is to enable Non-Resident Tamils to access welfare schemes and services more efficiently — including financial assistance, healthcare support, insurance, education benefits, marriage assistance, pension and more. The identity card serves as proof of your status and eligibility for these schemes.
A single NRT identity card unlocks a range of welfare services designed for Tamils working abroad or in other Indian states — from insurance cover to educational assistance for your family.
