Benefits
Eligible members get a one-time cash support of ₹21,000 to help cover wedding expenses. This amount is paid for the marriage of the worker's daughter, or for the self-marriage of a female registered worker.
The money is meant to reduce the financial load of a wedding on a worker's family. Since the support is paid directly for the marriage purpose, the worker needs to show the official marriage certificate along with the application.
