Tamil Nadu e‑Seva service expansion

On 11 July 2026 the Tamil Nadu government ordered repairs and upgrades to e‑Seva centres and related hospitals. By early August 2026 a pilot programme was announced to open twelve mini‑taluk offices across Chennai, each equipped with an e‑Seva centre for applying for community, income, nativity, widow, legal‑heir and residence certificates. The offices will be located at Kodungaiyur, Erukkancheri, Porur, Mogappair, Korattur, Saligramam, Neelangarai, Pallikaranai, Sholinganallur, Thiruvanmiyur/Besant Nagar, Triplicane (Thiruvallikeni) and Manapakkam. Deputy tehsildars from the revenue department headquarters will oversee the mini offices, and each centre will feature an exclusive e‑service facility. The department is also considering delegating signing authority for certain certificates to tehsildars handling social‑security schemes, aiming to distribute workload and speed up processing. The initiative is part of a broader effort to decentralise revenue administration, reduce delays at existing taluk offices and bring services closer to residents.
