How can I get Inter caste marriage benefits?

Advocate A M Iktear Uddin (anik) Answered: 12 Jan 2026

Dear client, as per your query, first, you need to check whether your state offers an inter-caste marriage incentive scheme and then ensure your marriage, and whether it satisfies eligibility conditions, including income limits. Then gather the required documents as per prescribed. You can apply either online through your State Social/Tribal Welfare Department website or offline by visiting the local SDM office to obtain and submit the form. After filling in details, uploading documents, and submitting the application, the authorities will then conduct verification, following which the approved financial incentive varying by state is disbursed.

Inter‑caste marriages have different benefits in different states. First, get your marriage registered and obtain a certificate of inter‑caste marriage. Next, find out what special schemes your state offers these can provide financial rewards, housing allowance, or other incentives. A local social welfare office or legal advisor should be consulted for advice.

If you had an intercaste marriage 8 years ago, you may be eligible for government benefits such as financial assistance or rewards under specific state or central government schemes. To apply, check your state's intercaste marriage scheme, submit your marriage certificate, caste certificates, and other required documents. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer for further guidance on available benefits. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
