The State government has extended the deadline for the exemption of the marriage registration fee of Rs 250 under the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) rules until January 26, 2026 to enhance citizen participation. Officials clarified in a notification issued by the Home department that this exemption applies to those individuals whose marriages had been registered before UCC’s implementation.
Further, the citizens whose marriages had been held prior to the UCC implementation but were not registered will also benefit from this extension.
The officials expressed the hope that the extension of the deadline would result in better figures of marriage registration. They also noted that a fee of Rs 50 (including GST) will remain applicable when citizens avail themselves of the service from the common service centres.
