Viral claim about government scheme

A video circulating online falsely claims that the central government has launched a “Mahila Work From Home Yojana 2026” offering women jobs from home with a monthly salary of ₹25,000. The video also invites viewers to apply online and promises easy income while working from home.

However, the claim has been officially declared fake. The fact-checking unit of the Government of India has clarified that no such scheme exists.

According to PIB Fact Check, the misleading video was uploaded by a YouTube channel named “Buddhsen92TechOfficial”. The video promotes the false idea that women can earn a fixed monthly income under a government-backed programme.

दावा-: केंद्र सरकार द्वारा 'महिला वर्क फ्रॉम होम योजना' के तहत महिलाओं को घर से काम करने का अवसर और प्रतिमाह ₹25,000 वेतन दिया जाएगा।
