Sir, I had a marriage on Apr 2021 in Arya samaj temple. I belong to Scheduled Tribes. Does Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 apply to us? Can I be charged under 494 IPC if i have second marriage?

Greetings to you.

Not every time, the answers are straight jacketed.
To be able to guide you properly (as there is technical issue) I will have to ask you share with me your marriage certificate as the same was issued from Arya Samaj temple. And we will have to have some discussion on how you got married to be able to guide you properly. Reason being “followers of Arya Samaj are governed by Hindu Law”.

Please feel free to reach out to me for any further assistance.

Regards.
