Tue Jan 28 08:27:55 UTC 2025: ## Uttarakhand Charges 10x More for Expedited Marriage Registrations Under UCC
**Dehradun, [Date]** – Uttarakhand has implemented a steep surcharge for expedited marriage registrations following the enactment of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). Couples seeking immediate registration will now pay ten times the standard fee. While the regular registration process remains in place, those needing their marriage registered within three days can do so for ₹2500. This significantly higher fee has been introduced alongside the UCC’s implementation. The state government has not yet released an official statement explaining the rationale behind the increased cost.
