Telangana Doubles Marriage Incentive for Disabled Couples
The Telangana government has decided to give more money to couples who both have disabilities when they get married.
They used to get ₹1 lakh, but now they will get ₹2 lakh.

The local authorities will make sure this new rule is followed everywhere in the state.
