“We will increase the current marriage grant of ₹25,000 to ₹2 lakh for upto two daughters of a martyred soldier.”
The promise was to raise the marriage grant for up to two daughters of a martyred soldier from Rs 25,000 to Rs 2 lakh. Approved-source evidence shows related marriage-grant support, but not the promised Rs 2 lakh level: the Uttarakhand Soldier Welfare page lists a Rs 50,000 central marriage grant for up to two daughters of eligible ESM or widow, while the KSB Guidebook 2025 lists Uttarakhand state-level daughter marriage grant of Rs 1 lakh for a maximum of two daughters of martyrs, widows, or orphans up to JCO rank, and a separate Rs 30,000 grant through the Police and Armed Forces Sahayata Sansthan. This is partial because the beneficiary class and two-daughter structure are partly matched, but the verified amount remains below the promised Rs 2 lakh. Budget status: benefit rates are verified, but no specific annual allocation or corpus line was found.
