Stuck on a login screen with no explanation of what it even is? That’s the usual starting point for this search. There are multiple web addresses tied to this system, and none of them tell you upfront which one applies to your role.
MTM Line List is the beneficiary tracking portal for Tamil Nadu’s Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam scheme, the state’s doorstep healthcare program for non-communicable diseases like hypertension and diabetes. The main portal sits at mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in. Here’s what’s actually confirmed about the official URLs, the login steps, and the fixes that work when something breaks.
Key points: The MTM Line List portal at mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in is where Tamil Nadu healthcare workers track beneficiaries under the Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam scheme. If you’re a Village Health Nurse, Women Health Volunteer, or block-level staff member, you need credentials from your district health office to log in. Login not working? Skip to the troubleshooting section.
Methodology: This guide is based on publicly available information about the MTM Line List portal as of July 2026, cross-checked against Tamil Nadu government sources, official news coverage, and the peer-reviewed BMC Primary Care evaluation. Where a detail couldn’t be independently confirmed, that’s flagged explicitly rather than presented as settled fact.
Definition
The MTM Line List portal is Tamil Nadu’s government-run beneficiary tracking system for the Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam doorstep healthcare scheme, used by Village Health Nurses and field staff to record patient screening results, medicine deliveries, and follow-up schedules across all 38 districts.
What Is the MTM Line List Portal?
Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam means “Healthcare at the Doorstep.” Tamil Nadu launched it on August 5, 2021, in Krishnagiri district, aimed at adults who might otherwise struggle to reach clinics, bringing preventive and diagnostic care straight to households instead of making people travel for it. That’s according to a peer-reviewed evaluation published in BMC Primary Care in December 2025 (Subramaniam et al., BMC Prim Care 2026). It now runs across all 38 districts.
Hypertension is one of the main conditions tracked here, and field workers deal directly with managing blood pressure with medication as part of the home visit itself.
By November 7, 2024, the scheme had reached 1.98 crore people with preventive services and 4.22 crore people with diagnostic services, per dtnext’s coverage of the award ceremony. And it won something bigger than a state-level pat on the back: the UN Interagency Task Force Award for 2024, one of fourteen organizations honored that year for NCD and mental health work, announced at the 79th UN General Assembly in New York on September 25, 2024.
The workforce running this is layered. Women Health Volunteers, Village Health Nurses, Health Inspectors, Mid-Level Health Providers, each with a distinct role across screening, treatment, and follow-up. The “line list” is the working record this workforce keeps for their assigned area. Which households are enrolled. What’s being screened or treated. When the next visit is due. The portal is where that list actually lives. Built for field staff, not the general public.
Official MTM Portal URLs and What’s Actually Confirmed
More than one address is tied to this system — worth being straight about what’s actually known versus assumed.
mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in is the primary, government-domain login, and it’s the one to default to if you’re unsure. It runs on TimesMed infrastructure — the “Powered by TimesMed” line at the bottom is vendor branding for the platform provider, not a separate government portal. A fourth address, tnmtm.in, is also live on the same TimesMed-powered login screen; it’s likely an alternate access point rather than a separate system, though its exact purpose isn’t publicly documented.
Two other domains keep showing up in search results: tb.mtmlinelist.com and mtm.infomaps.in. They look structurally different — tb.mtmlinelist.com throws a CAPTCHA and has no sign-up option, while mtm.infomaps.in has a “Forgot Password” link and a sign-up option, with no CAPTCHA.
MTM Portal URLs at a Glance
| URL |
What’s Confirmed |
Default Use |
| mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in |
Government domain, TimesMed-powered, CAPTCHA-protected login. |
Recommended default portal. Use this if you’re unsure which portal to access. (Listed in the Tamil Nadu government websites directory) |
| tnmtm.in |
TimesMed-powered login that appears to use the same vendor/platform as the government portal. |
Alternate access point. Exact purpose or distinction from the government domain is not officially confirmed. |
| tb.mtmlinelist.com |
CAPTCHA-protected login with no public sign-up option. |
Possibly TB-specific portal (unconfirmed). Use only if instructed by your organization. |
| mtm.infomaps.in |
Includes Sign Up and Forgot Password options. |
Purpose unconfirmed. Not enough public information to verify its role or intended users. |
| mtmportal.com |
Website belongs to MTM Choice Worldwide, an unrelated private company. |
Not part of the Tamil Nadu MTM scheme. Do not enter your credentials here. |
tb.mtmlinelist.com runs on the same TimesMed platform as mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in, and the “tb” subdomain strongly suggests a tuberculosis line‑list function — but neither NTEP documentation nor TimesMed’s public materials confirm this explicitly, so treat it as an informed hypothesis, not a documented fact.
Practical takeaway: don’t treat these URLs as interchangeable. Given a specific link by your Block Medical Officer or district office? Use that one. Unsure? Default to mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in.
Worth repeating because it trips people up: mtmportal.com has nothing to do with any of this. It belongs to MTM Choice Worldwide, an unrelated global marketing agency. Land there while searching for the health portal and you’re on the wrong site — enter government-issued credentials and you’ve handed them to a company with no connection to Tamil Nadu’s health department.
How to Log In to the MTM Line List Portal
- Go to mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in.
- Enter the username and password issued by your Block Medical Officer or district health office. Nobody self-registers here.
- Complete the CAPTCHA field.
- Click Login.
First time accessing the system? Don’t guess, and don’t look for a sign-up button; there isn’t one. Contact your supervisor or Block Medical Officer directly for credentials.
Common Login Problems and How to Fix Them
- Wrong URL. Going from memory or a forwarded link? Double-check you’re actually on mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in, not one of the other similarly-named domains that may run on different credentials entirely.
- Password rejected. Mobile keyboards autocorrect and autocapitalize more than people expect. Check for that first. Still failing after a careful retry? Contact your district office for a reset instead of hammering the login button; repeated failed attempts can lock the account.
- CAPTCHA won’t validate. Do a full page reload rather than resubmitting. Browsers sometimes cache an old CAPTCHA value, and you end up solving a puzzle that’s already expired.
- Logged in but the data looks wrong or blank. Usually means the account is tied to a different area or role than expected. Confirm your assigned block with your supervisor.
- Page loads but the login button does nothing. Try a different browser. Older or less common mobile browsers can fail silently on government portal scripts, no error message, just nothing happening.
Still stuck after all that? It might genuinely be server-side. Government portals in India do go offline for maintenance, usually overnight, and there’s no public status page telling you that’s what’s happening. At that point, contact your district health office directly instead of troubleshooting alone in the dark.
What the Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam Scheme Covers
The scheme delivers home-based screening and treatment for non-communicable diseases. Hypertension and diabetes are the primary focus, with cancer screening and physiotherapy also part of the package, according to the BMC Primary Care evaluation. For context on why hypertension gets so much attention here, understanding heart health and prevention covers how doorstep screening ties into longer-term cardiovascular risk.
Coverage spans 385 rural blocks with 8,713 health sub-centres, and 21 urban corporations with 460 primary health centres (TNPSC Thervu Pettagam current-affairs summary). Worth flagging honestly: this figure comes from a current‑affairs summary rather than a primary government release, so treat it as likely accurate but not fully confirmed.
The same peer-reviewed evaluation found real improvement in NCD care access among marginalized populations. It also found real gaps. Equitable cancer screening is still a challenge, and urban outreach lags behind what’s happening in rural areas. This is a program with genuine reach and genuine limitations, not a flawless one, and it’s more useful to say so plainly than to pretend otherwise.
Here’s a distinction that matters and rarely gets made: published beneficiary numbers count everyone screened, not just people receiving ongoing treatment. What percentage of screened people actually convert to sustained treatment isn’t broken out anywhere publicly available. The reach numbers are real. They measure contact, not necessarily continuity of care. That’s a meaningful difference if you’re trying to judge how well the scheme is actually working versus how many doors it’s knocked on.
Who Can Access the Portal
Access is restricted to healthcare staff formally assigned to the scheme: Women Health Volunteers, Village Health Nurses, Health Inspectors, Mid-Level Health Providers, plus block and district administrators. Not open to the public. Beneficiaries never log in themselves; their records get entered by whoever visits their household.
Wondering if you’re eligible for home-based screening as a member of the public? Contact your local Primary Health Centre. This portal isn’t where that question gets answered.
What You Can Do Inside the Dashboard
Once you’re in, the portal is built around entering and updating patient-level data for your assigned area. Adding households. Recording screening results. Flagging follow-up visits or medicine deliveries.
The exact menu layout inside the dashboard can’t be verified without direct portal access, so this guide isn’t going to pretend to walk you through screen-by-screen navigation it hasn’t actually seen. What is confirmed is the purpose: a data-entry and tracking tool for field staff, built around the same line-list logic covered above.
FAQ
1. What does MTM stand for?
Makkalai Thedi Maruthuvam, meaning “Healthcare at the Doorstep.” Running since August 5, 2021.
2. What is the official MTM Line List website?
mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in. Other domains tied to this system exist, but their exact purpose isn’t publicly documented, so this is the one to default to when unsure.
3. How do I get login credentials?
Contact your Block Medical Officer or district health office. There’s no public sign-up option, and there never will be, this is restricted government infrastructure.
4. My MTM login isn’t working. What now?
Work through the troubleshooting steps above first. Wrong URL and mobile autocorrect cause most of the failures. Nothing working after that? Contact your district office rather than repeatedly retrying.
5. Who’s actually eligible to use the MTM portal?
Staff formally assigned to the scheme, full stop. Not for public or beneficiary use.
6. What conditions does the scheme screen for?
Hypertension and diabetes mainly, plus cancer screening and physiotherapy. For day-to-day management once diabetes is diagnosed, practical diabetes management tips cover what comes after the scheme’s own screening and treatment.
7. Is mtmportal.com the same as the MTM Line List portal?
No. Different company entirely, MTM Choice Worldwide, zero connection to the Tamil Nadu health scheme.
8. What’s the fastest way to tell I’m on the wrong MTM site?
Check the domain in your address bar against the table above — anything other than the five listed URLs, especially mtmportal.com, is not part of this system.
If you’re new to this role, the mistake almost everyone makes is typing “mtm line list .com” into Google and landing somewhere wrong before finding the actual portal. If a colleague or new team member asks where to log in, mtmlinelist.tn.gov.in is the page to send them, not a search result.
