Andhra Pradesh Auto Driver Sevalo Scheme

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

• The Government of Andhra Pradesh officially launched the Auto Driver Sevalo Scheme on October 4, 2025.
• The main purpose of this scheme is to provide financial relief to auto, cab, and maxi drivers across the state who are struggling to earn due to a fall in passengers.
• The earnings have been particularly affected by the introduction of the Stree Shakti Scheme implemented by the Andhra Pradesh Government.
• The Auto Driver Sevalo Scheme will be operated and managed by the Transport Department of the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
• Under this scheme, the state government will provide annual financial assistance of Rs. 15,000/- to every eligible Auto, Taxi, and Maxi Driver.
• However, this initiative is not completely new.
• Earlier, it was known as the "YSR Vahan Mitra Scheme", which was introduced by the previous YSR Congress Party Government.
• In the earlier version of the scheme, Rs. 10,000/- per year was provided as financial assistance to auto, cab, and maxi drivers across the state.
• The present TDP-led Andhra Pradesh Government has now renamed the scheme as the "Auto Driver Sevalo Scheme" and increased the annual assistance to Rs. 15,000 per year.
• On 4th October 2025, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu transferred more than Rs. 436 crore directly into the bank accounts of about 2,90,669 drivers under the renewed Auto Driver Sevalo Scheme.
• Out of these 2,90,669 beneficiaries, 2,25,621 are auto drivers, 38,576 are three-wheeler passenger vehicle drivers, 20,072 are motor cab drivers, and 6,400 are maxi cab drivers.
• Each eligible driver will receive Rs. 15,000 per year under the Auto Driver Sevalo Scheme, directly from the Government of Andhra Pradesh.
• Only those Auto, Cab, and Maxi Drivers who own and personally drive their vehicles to earn their livelihood are eligible for this benefit.
• It is mandatory for every applicant to have a valid driving license, and the vehicle must be registered within Andhra Pradesh.
