Before you apply

  • Official health coverage portals never ask for your bank PIN or a one-time password over the phone.
  • If a site offers to 'activate' a government health card for a fee, check the official portal first.

Six signs a scheme website is fake

Fake benefit, scholarship and job-scheme sites copy official logos. These signs give them away.

  1. 1The domain is not a government oneA scheme name, a ministry logo or the national flag on a .com, .org, .in, .co or .online address proves nothing. Read the part right before the first single slash.
  2. 2You are asked to pay to register or applyApplying for government benefits, scholarships and registrations on the official portal is normally free. Fees for 'processing', 'registration' or 'guaranteed approval' are a classic scam.
  3. 3You are asked for an OTP, PIN or passwordNo government officer needs your one-time password, UPI or bank PIN. Anyone asking for it is trying to take over an account.
  4. 4The link came by SMS, WhatsApp or a social media adReal agencies rarely send sign-in links. Type the official address yourself or use this list.
  5. 5It promises guaranteed money or a deadline todayPressure and certainty are both warning signs. Official schemes publish eligibility rules and dates on their own portal.
  6. 6It asks you to install an app or APK from a linkOfficial government apps are listed on the official site and in the regular app stores. A side-loaded APK can read your messages and OTPs.
