A Facebook page named ‘Kishan Kumar’ has been sharing several videos that allegedly show Prime Minister Narendra Modi announcing a scheme related to the purchase of old notes and coins.
PIB Fact Check has rejected the videos as fake and warned people against believing the claims made in them.
According to PIB Fact Check, the circulating clips use artificial intelligence technology, including deepfake techniques, to make it appear as though PM Modi made the announcement.

The fact-checking agency clarified that the Prime Minister has not made any such announcement regarding the purchase of old currency notes or coins.
The agency urged social media users to remain cautious when they encounter videos containing attractive or potentially misleading claims.
PIB Fact Check asked people not to share or forward suspicious videos and links without verifying their authenticity.
The warning comes amid the growing circulation of AI-generated and manipulated content on social media platforms, which can make false information appear genuine.
Users should therefore verify claims through reliable government sources before acting on information shared online.

The platform provides verified information about government welfare schemes and related services.
PIB Fact Check has encouraged citizens to rely on official sources instead of unverified social media posts for information concerning government announcements.
The latest warning highlights the need for greater awareness as deepfake technology becomes increasingly capable of creating convincing videos featuring public figures.
