Fact Check: Is Modi government giving Rs 4500 per month to daughters under new scheme? PIB issues alert

A social media post with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s face on the poster has now gone viral, which claimed that the Central government will be providing daughters with Rs 4,500 per month under a new scheme.

The viral social media post has claimed that the Narendra Modi-led government will be providing families with daughters Rs 4,500 per month under the new scheme ‘Kanya Sumangala Yojana’. Now, the PIB Fact Check team has addressed the post.

The government fact check agency – PIB Fact Check – has shared a post and debunked the viral claim, announcing that there is no such scheme that will be giving families with daughters Rs 4,500 per month under the scheme.

'Sarkari Vlog' नामक यूट्यूब चैनल के एक वीडियो में दावा किया गया है कि जिनके परिवार में बेटियां हैं उन्हें 'कन्या सुमंगला योजना' के तहत केंद्र सरकार हर महीने ₹4,500 दे रही है #PIBFactCheck
