Madhya Pradesh government is running Nihshaktajan Vivaah Protsaahan Yojana in 2026 for eligible couples where one or both spouses have 40% or more disability. Under the current scheme details, the marriage grant is ₹2,00,000 when one spouse is disabled and the other spouse is not disabled, and ₹1,00,000 when both spouses are disabled.
Social Justice MP scheme page was updated on 29 June 2026, and CM Helpline scheme details show an update date of 01 January 2026. So this scheme is still in use, and applications are still taken through the department office route in Madhya Pradesh.
Nihshaktajan Vivaah Protsaahan Yojana in Madhya Pradesh
This scheme helps persons with disabilities who get married in Madhya Pradesh. It is a state scheme and the amount is given after document checking through the district-level office of the Social Justice and Disabled Persons Department.
One important point is the time limit. The application should be submitted within one year from the date of marriage. The current scheme pages also say the process is free and the department aims to decide cases within 15 working days after the file reaches the right office.

How the money is given
Current Madhya Pradesh scheme pages show two grant slabs. If the groom is disabled and the bride is not disabled, or if the bride is disabled and the groom is not disabled, the grant is ₹2,00,000. If both husband and wife are disabled, the joint grant is ₹1,00,000.
Money is approved after the file is checked by the department. The article earlier had the basic amount details, but this version adds the current office route, one-year apply limit, free application, and the latest 2026 update references from the government pages.
