Invest Rs 22,000 And Get Rs 10 Lakh Monthly Return: Check Truth Behind Viral Video Linked To Nirmala Sitharaman, Shaktikanta Das

New Delhi: A social media post is going viral that claims that people can get Rs 10 lakh monthly by investing Rs 22,000 in a scheme. The instagram post says that the scheme is endorsed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and former RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das.

Fact-checking agency PIB has refuted the social media claim. PIB has stated that the claim being made in this post is misleading.

PIB has asked netizens to not fall for get-rich-quick scams.

“Sponsored ads on Instagram are circulating digitally altered, AI-generated videos featuring Union Finance Minister @nsitharaman and former RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, falsely promoting an investment scheme that claims returns of ₹10 lakh in a month for an investment of ₹22,000,” PIB has tweeted.

PIB has asked people to Beware as these ads are FAKE and AI-generated. It added that neither the Finance Minister nor the Government of India has endorsed any such investment scheme or advertisement.

How to protect yourself from such scams:

– Be wary of “too-good-to-be-true” returns.

– Verify claims through official government or financial institution websites.

– Avoid clicking on suspicious or unknown links

– Never share personal or banking details on unverified platforms

– Report such scam ads or videos on the platform where they appear
