What is the incentive award for inter-caste marriage?

The Central Govt has decided to give every inter-caste marriage which has a Dalit as one of the parties, an incentive of Rs 2.5 lakhs. Prior to this decision, this scheme was meant for couples whose income was lower than Rs. 5 lakhs per annum. However, to encourage inter-caste marriages involving Dalits, the ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has decided to allow the scheme for all without the condition for income. According to the new changes to the scheme a one-time incentive of Rs 2.5 lakhs could be availed by the couples who have married in the other caste, one of which is a Dalit.

Central Government to provide an incentive of Rs 2.5 lakhs to every inter-caste marriage involving a Dalit is a welcome step towards promoting social inclusion and addressing the issue of caste discrimination. By removing the income ceiling, the government has ensured that the benefits of the scheme are available to all inter-caste couples, regardless of their financial status. This is a significant step forward in promoting inter-caste marriages and breaking down social barriers. For further enquiry Contact us on helpline number.
