Evidence (2023-06-12): A social media post claiming that the Karnataka Congress government has set multiple requirements to qualify for the free electricity scheme is doing rounds on social media platforms. Alleging that these conditions are not advantageous for the underprivileged, it emphasizes that individuals must meet certain criteria, such as not owning any land, not having any two-wheeler or four-wheeler vehicles, and not having their children enrolled in private schools, in order to be eligible for the scheme. Through this article let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: Karnataka government has announced to roll out the scheme from 01 July 2023 and will be reflected in the bills of power consumers from the month of August 2023. However, contrary to the claim made in the viral post, all residential consumers within the state are eligible for the scheme. Even tenants living in rented houses are also eligible for the scheme. Government did not stipulate any conditions like not owning land or vehicles to avail the scheme. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.

Following the election victory, in its first cabinet meeting the Congress government has granted in-principle approval to the Gruha Jyothi scheme.

Claim: Government is giving an allowance of Rs 3,000 per month to unemployed youth under the Pradhan Mantri Berojgari Bhatta Yojana (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-07-06)
Evidence (2024-09-06): A recent social media post that is going viral claims that the central government is providing a monthly allowance of Rs 6,000 to unemployed youth under the Pradhan Mantri Berojgari Bhatta Yojana 2024. However, this claim is false, and is only aimed at driving traffic to a website. But similar misinformation is circulated via WhatsApp, where their motives can be shady, and clicking on such links or sharing personal or bank details can prove dangerous. Unemployment allowance, also known as Berojgari Bhatta, is an allowance provided by the government to provide financial aid to unemployed individuals, to help cover their basic living expenses or as internship fees in exchange for skill training. These schemes giving berojgari bhatta vary from state to state in India. [...] Other states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar also offer similar berojgari bhattas, if you enroll via respective government portals. However, the allowance amounts and clause of internships and their durations may vary. But applicants should be cautious against misinformation such as PM Bherojgari Bhatta and verify details or apply only from official government sources.
