What Is UP Shadi Anudan Yojana?

Shadi Anudan Yojana is a Uttar Pradesh government welfare scheme intended to support eligible low-income families with the marriage expenses of their daughters. The application is processed through the relevant welfare department according to the applicant category and applicable government rules.

The scheme is associated with the following departments:

• Other Backward Classes (OBC): Backward Class Welfare Department.
• Scheduled Caste and General categories: Social Welfare Department, where the relevant category scheme applies.
• Scheduled Tribe (ST): Tribal Development Department, subject to the applicable scheme and current portal instructions.

Always select the correct category and department shown on the official portal. Do not submit the application under a different category simply because another department has a separate scheme.

How Much Financial Assistance Is Available?

Government district information for the applicable Shadi Anudan scheme lists financial assistance of ₹20,000 for eligible applicants under the SC/General category scheme. The current amount and eligibility for OBC and other categories must be confirmed from the respective department and official portal.

Do not rely on websites that advertise ₹51,000 as a guaranteed Shadi Anudan benefit without checking the official rules. Uttar Pradesh also operates a separate Chief Minister Mass Marriage Scheme, which has different eligibility requirements and benefits.
