A WhatsApp message is going viral claiming that the Finance Ministry is giving ₹46,715 to every Indian citizen, especially targeting low-income groups. The message says this is meant to help people facing financial struggles.
Channeliam Fact Check Review
Channeliam Fact Check has verified this claim and found it to be completely false. The message is not from the Finance Ministry, and no such financial aid scheme exists. It is a fake message, similar to those used in scams.
Warning from Government Sources
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has also flagged the message as fake. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PIB confirmed that the Finance Ministry has not announced any such aid, and the message appears to be a phishing attempt.
What Citizens Should Do
- Do not click on links in such messages
- Do not share unverified information
- Check with official government websites or trusted news platforms before believing any such claims
Bottom Line
There is no ₹46,715 scheme from the Finance Ministry. The viral message is a scam, and citizens are advised to stay cautious and not fall for such fake claims.
