FACT CHECK: A message has been doing rounds on social media wherein it has been claimed that the Aadhaar card holders will get a Rs 3,00,000 loan under Pradhan Mantri Loan Yojana (scheme). However, when the Press Information Bureau (PIB) conducted a fact check, the message turned out to be fake. Busting the fraudulent message, PIB said that this viral message is fake.

“It is being claimed that the central government is providing a loan of ₹3,00,000 to all Aadhaar card owners,” PIB wrote, sharing a picture of the misleading message being circulated on the internet. The PIB also asked people to not share their Aadhaar-related information with anyone without checking the facts properly.
