FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the claim and found it to be a scam.
Our team examined the suspicious link attached to the message —http://newsmobile.in/wp-admin/post-new.php — which turned out to be non-functional and invalid.
A detailed review of official websites and verified social media handles of the Government of India, BJP, and associated ministries revealed no announcement of any such scheme offering ₹2,000 to citizens.
This is not the first time such fraudulent offers have gone viral. NewsMobile has previously debunked similar fake schemes falsely linked to trusted brands including Amazon, Flipkart, TATA Group and Hermès. These scams typically use clickbait visuals and counterfeit endorsements to lure users into clicking malicious links, exposing them to risks of data theft and financial fraud.
In conclusion, the viral banner claiming that the government is providing a ₹2,000 allowance through a link is fake. Citizens are advised not to click on suspicious links and to verify such claims through official channels.
