AI SummaryMadhya Pradesh Transport Department is running Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Marriage Assistance for registered commercial drivers and conductors, and forms are still taken at District and Regional Transport Offices. Money help for a daughter's marriage is given at the rate fixed under Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana, which stands at ₹55,000 in 2026.
Drivers and conductors work long hours on the road and marriage costs hit such families hard. This scheme links registered transport workers with the state marriage support rate so that the wedding cost of a daughter does not fall fully on the family. Samagra registration has to be done before applying.
Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Marriage Assistance Details
Scheme is run by Transport Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, for drivers and conductors of the unorganised transport sector. It is a one-time cash benefit for the marriage of a daughter, and the payment follows the rules and rate notified by Social Justice and Divyangjan Welfare Department under Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana.
No change in the rate has come in 2026. Out of the total ₹55,000, an amount of ₹49,000 goes to the bride through an account payee cheque or bank transfer, and ₹6,000 goes to the body that organises the mass marriage function. Full rules of the parent scheme are given in Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah / Nikah Yojana.

Benefits Given Under the Scheme
Support is given only for the marriage of a daughter of a registered driver or conductor. Amount is not paid in parts and there is no monthly payment under it. Rate is linked with the parent marriage scheme, so any revision by the Social Justice Department applies here as well.
- Cash help of ₹49,000 for the eligible bride, paid into the bank account of the girl after the marriage is checked by the office.
- ₹6,000 to the gram panchayat, nagar parishad or body that arranges the mass marriage function, to meet the arrangement cost.
- Total provision of ₹55,000 per eligible marriage, which is the same rate applied in Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana in 2026.
Payment normally comes after the marriage takes place and after the district office matches the papers with the Samagra record. Amount can change later if the state revises the marriage scheme rate.
Who Can Apply
Rules stay the same in 2026. Applicant has to be a working driver or conductor registered under the welfare scheme, and the daughter's marriage details must match the parent scheme rules.
- Applicant should be a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh.
- A valid commercial driving licence or conductor licence issued in Madhya Pradesh is required.
- Applicant should be registered as a transport vehicle driver or conductor under this welfare scheme.
- Family and member details must be recorded on the Samagra portal.
- Daughter should be unmarried at the time of applying and should be at least 18 years old on the marriage date.

Application Process 2026
Form is filed offline at the transport office, but the Samagra part is done online first. Keep the licence, Samagra number and marriage card ready before starting.
STEP 1 - Open the Samagra portal at samagra.gov.in and pick the Register Family or Register Member option on the homepage.
STEP 2 - Enter Aadhaar details, verify with the OTP that comes on the registered mobile number, fill the form, upload the papers and submit after entering the captcha. If the family is already registered, only check that the daughter's name, age and mobile number are correct.
STEP 3 - Download the application form from the official scheme guidelines PDF on the transport department website, or collect a printed copy from the transport office counter.
STEP 4 - Fill every field in the form, attach self attested copies of the licence, Samagra ID, residence proof, age proof of the daughter and the marriage invitation card, and hand over the full set at the District Transport Office or Regional Transport Office of the district.
STEP 5 - Office checks the papers and forwards the case for sanction. After the marriage is done, submit the marriage certificate if the office asks for it, and keep the receipt safe for follow up on the payment.
People who cannot fill the online Samagra part at home can visit a Lok Seva Kendra, MP Online kiosk or Common Service Center in their area and get it updated there for a small service charge.
Documents Required
Applications get delayed mostly due to missing papers, so keep this set ready in one file.
Passport size photograph, Samagra ID and member ID, valid commercial driving or conductor licence, Madhya Pradesh residence proof, Aadhaar card of the applicant and the daughter, age proof of the daughter, marriage invitation card or marriage certificate, and a bank passbook copy of the bride.
