The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has debunked the claim that the Finance Ministry is providing a Rs 32,849 benefit scheme for the poor, warning readers not to fall for or share the false message.

A fraudulent message is circulating on social media, urging people to register for financial assistance through a link, falsely claiming to be an initiative by the Government of India. The message preys on the financial hardships faced by the Indian population, stating that the Ministry of Finance has decided to provide each citizen with INR 30,628 to alleviate the crisis. The message includes a registration link.

The Press Information Bureau (PIB), Government of India, tweeted the official statement, which mentioned that:

“A message with a link ‘https://bit.ly/3P7CiPY’ is doing the rounds on social media and is claiming to offer a financial aid of ₹30,628 in the name of the Ministry of Finance to every citizen,

  • This message is fake. 
  • No such aid is announced by @FinMinIndia”

The link in the message asks users to register, which has become more common recently. However, it’s crucial to know that scammers can misuse the information provided by users for illegal activities. The government has repeatedly warned people to stay alert and not to trust these deceptive messages.

PIB’s Guidelines for Fact-Checking Suspicious Links

PIB consistently advises people to exercise caution and refrain from clicking on suspicious links shared as viral messages. It is crucial to be cautious and verify the authenticity of such messages to avoid potential risks.
