The beneficiaries of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme should be aware of fraudulent messages and misleading claims circulating on social media platforms, stated the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. This warning was issued to prevent farmers from becoming victims due to disinformation.
Falling for fake messages can compromise your bank details or Aadhaar information, and even lead to your benefits being delayed or stolen. Fake messages can compromise one's bank details or Aadhaar information. This can lead to the benefits being delayed or stolen.
Under the guise of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, several fake messages, links, and social media posts are being circulated. False promises of additional benefits, fake registration links, or misleading updates are circulated. They can lead to fraud or loss of personal data.
The government has warned that believing or engaging with unverified information can risk one's rightful entitlements and hard-earned income. From the official PM-Kisan portal, pmkisan.gov.in and @pmkisanofficial (on X and Facebook), farmer beneficiaries should follow status updates and registration details.
