PIB Fact Check: Is government under 'PM Nari Shakti Yojana' giving Rs 2.20 lakh in cash, 25 lakh loan? Here is the truth!

A YouTube video is currently making waves on social media.

The video claims that a flagship scheme under the Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government iis providing a cash amount of Rs 2,20,000 to all the women of the country. The video also says that the money is being deposited directly into the bank account of the women under the 'Pradhan Mantri Nari Shakti Yojana'.

A loan of up to Rs 25 lakh is also being given under this scheme without any guarantee, interest, or security, the video states. 
However, the Press Information Bureau (PIB), exposing the wrong information, has now said that the claim in the viral video is FAKE. 

PIB also revealed that the Central government is running no scheme known as 'Pradhan Mantri Nari Shakti Yojana. The Centre and all its agencies have always made sure to warn people against such false claims. People need to know that only verified sources and government authorities should be their source of information.

If you also get to know about a video saying that a handsome amount will be credited to a women's account by the government, don't forward it to anyone. Notably, if anyone asks for personal information so that you can avail benefits, then don't fall prey to such messages.
