With a view to rationalise the time period for financial assistance for the marriage of grand-daughters of freedom fighters and INA personnel belonging to Haryana and their widows, Haryana Government has decided that the claim for assistance to the tune of `51,000 would ordinarily be made within six months from the date of marriage through the Deputy Commissioner concerned.
It has also been made mandatory to provide financial assistance only through Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, said an official spokesman on Thursday.
He said that the claims should not be made later than 12 months within the date of marriage (for a special reason to be recorded for delay).
The Minister added that after verification of claims and recording his/her satisfaction, the Deputy Commissioner would forward the case to Chairman, Haryana Swatantrata Sainani Samman Samiti (HSSSS). After verification by Chairman, HSSSS, approval would be taken from Chief Secretary to issue sanction to the Administrator General and Official Trustee and Treasurer, Charitable Endowments Haryana for making necessary arrangements for payment of financial assistance, he added.
