Eligible drivers must submit their applications through a specially released form available at their local village or ward secretariats. The last date to submit applications is set for September 19. All necessary details must be filled in the form to ensure the smooth processing of the request.

Once the selection process is completed, the government plans to directly transfer the ₹15,000 assistance to the bank accounts of the approved drivers. The funds will be deposited into the selected drivers’ accounts on October 1. This initiative is aimed at providing relief to the drivers who have been significantly impacted by the ongoing economic challenges.

This scheme is a part of the state government’s broader effort to support various communities and provide financial aid to those in need. The implementation of this scheme is expected to benefit thousands of drivers across the state.

According to official estimates, about 2.75 lakh beneficiaries were eligible in 2023–24 , but the number is expected to increase to nearly 2.90 lakh this year. To implement the scheme, the state government will spend approximately ₹435 crore.

During the previous YSRCP government, beneficiaries received only ₹10,000 each under the same scheme. Chandrababu’s decision to enhance the assistance amount to ₹15,000 is being projected as a move to provide greater support to drivers during the festive season. The scheme is expected to bring financial relief to thousands of families dependent on auto, cab, and taxi services.
