Financial Assistance on Marriage of Children (HBOCWWB) is a state scheme of Haryana Labour Department for registered construction workers. It gives ₹21,000 for a son's marriage and ₹50,000 for a daughter's marriage so that workers can manage wedding expenses without falling into debt. In 2026-27, applications are open online through the Antyodaya-SARAL Portal.
Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (HBOCWWB) runs the scheme. A registered worker can claim this benefit for the marriage of two children, and the cover extends to three daughters. The application must reach the department at least three days before the scheduled wedding date.
Financial Assistance on Marriage of Children HBOCWWB - Introduction
The scheme is meant for families whose daily income depends on construction work. Wedding expenses are a big one-time spending, so the Board gives direct bank transfer support to eligible workers. The full amount goes to the bank account of the registered worker after the application is checked and approved.
The process is completely online and there is no need to visit any office for submitting the form. A worker needs a valid registration with the Board, a Parivar Pehchan Patra (Family ID) and the marriage card of the son or daughter to apply.

Benefits
The scheme gives direct cash support to cover wedding arrangements of children. The money is transferred directly to the bank account of the registered worker after approval.
- For Son's Marriage: One-time support of ₹21,000, available for up to two sons.
- For Daughter's Marriage: One-time support of ₹50,000, available for daughters. The cover extends to three daughters if all three marriages happen.
The benefit is available for the marriage of two children, and this entitlement extends to three daughters. So a worker with three daughters can get support for all three weddings under the scheme.
Eligibility
A worker needs to meet these conditions to apply:
- Must be a registered worker under Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (HBOCWWB).
- Must have a valid registration with at least one year of regular membership.
- Must be a permanent resident or domicile holder of Haryana.
The bride must be at least 18 years old and the groom must be at least 21 years old. The marriage card must be attested by an authorized official such as a Gazetted Officer, Labour Inspector, Sarpanch or school principal.
Important declarations: A written undertaking is required that the marriage certificate will be submitted to the Assistant Director's office within six months of the marriage. Not doing this makes the worker ineligible for future welfare benefits. A self-declaration is also needed that the worker has not received, and will not apply for, similar marriage support from any other government board, department or corporation.
