Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (HBOCWWB) is running Grant for Purchase of Tools scheme in 2026, giving registered construction workers ₹8000 to buy new tool kits. This is a cash benefit that goes straight to the worker's bank account through DBT after approval, so you can pick your own tools as per your trade.
Registered workers can claim this grant once every 5 years, and up to 5 times in their full working life. Applications are taken online through the Antyodaya-SARAL Haryana Portal, and there is no application fee. Below is a simple guide on who can apply, what documents are needed, and the exact steps to file the application.
Grant for Purchase of Tools (HBOCWWB) Haryana 2026
Construction workers spend a big chunk of their own earnings on hand tools like trowels, hammers, drills, cutters, plumb bobs, spirit levels and safety gear. To reduce this load, Haryana Labour Department, through HBOCWWB, gives a ₹8000 grant so that a registered worker can buy a proper tool kit for their trade. The idea is simple - better tools mean better work, faster jobs and safer sites.
This is not a loan. You do not have to return the money. Once your application is approved and the payment reaches your bank account, the amount is yours to use for the tool kit purchase declared in your form. You are expected to keep the bill and note the source of purchase for record.
