Assistance for Daughter’s Marriage
About Assistance for Daughter’s Marriage
Introduced by the Department of Sainik Welfare, Government of Rajasthan, the “Assistance for Daughter’s Marriage” scheme helps widows of ex-servicemen financially when their daughters get married. Widows of ex-servicemen up to the rank of Havaldar who are not getting the Marriage Grant from the Kendriya Sainik Board (KSB) receive ₹25,000/- per daughter for at most two marriageable daughters. The money comes from the Amalgamated Fund and is paid when the beneficiary applies within one year of the wedding date.
