Weddings in India are often grand, but they can also become a big financial burden for many families.
To reduce this pressure, the Government of Uttar Pradesh is running a helpful scheme called the Chief Minister’s Mass Marriage Scheme.
Under this scheme, eligible couples can get financial support of up to ₹1 lakh to help manage wedding expenses.
What Benefits Do You Get?
