A video circulating on the YouTube channel ‘RazaTechnologyTips’ has falsely claimed that the central government is offering monthly financial aid ranging from ₹5000 to ₹9000 to all unemployed citizens under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Unemployment Allowance Scheme 2025’.
The video suggests that individuals can easily apply for this alleged scheme and start receiving benefits.
However, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has categorically refuted this claim through its #PIBFactCheck. It confirmed that no such scheme exists under the central government.
The PIB labelled the viral video as fake and advised people not to believe such misinformation.
No such unemployment scheme exists
The government has clarified that there is no scheme named ‘Pradhan Mantri Unemployment Allowance Scheme’ currently in operation.
The PIB further urged citizens to verify any claims regarding government schemes through official sources to avoid falling prey to fake content.
Misinformation about government schemes frequently circulates on social media platforms, leading to public confusion and potential fraud.
The PIB regularly issues fact checks to counter these misleading posts and videos.
