Let us know what is the real truth behind this viral claim and news:

What is the truth behind the viral claim?  
Fake and misleading link: There has been no announcement from  the government or any official department regarding a one-time assistance of ₹40,000.

Risk of personal information theft: The links being shared on social media and Instagram Reels are not government portals. These links are circulating with forms asking for personal information such as Aadhaar card number, mobile number, and address. Women are strongly advised to avoid sharing their confidential information with such fake portals.

What's the update on the ₹1,500 weekly payments that have been stalled?
8.1 million Women will benefit: There's some relief for women whose weekly payments were stalled due to technical difficulties or other reasons during the KYC process. According to a state government clarification, eligible women will continue to receive the regular ₹1,500 monthly assistance.

However, this assistance is a simple monthly amount (₹1,500), do not combine it with any lump sum package of ₹40,000.

Important precautions for women:

Stay away from fake links: Do not enter your personal or bank details by clicking on any unauthorized link received on WhatsApp or social media.

Use the official website: For any information or updates related to the scheme, trust only the official portals and sources of the government.
