Claim: Payment of wages to workers within 15 days in 85% of the cases as compared to long delays in the past. (Govt .of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2021-04-15): Since the implementation of DBT in MGNREGA, the timely payment of wages has increased reportedly from 37% in 2015-16 to 98% in 2020-21. However, according to an independent assessment of payment transactions in the first two quarters of 2017-18 across 10 Indian states, only 32% of wage payments were made within the stipulated period of 15 days, as compared to the government’s claim of 85%. This is because the government only considers delays caused under Stage 1 processes. The Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, has acknowledged this flaw in the calculation. It has attributed the delays in Stage 2 to "infrastructural bottlenecks, unavailability of funds, and a lack of administrative compliance."

Evidence (2024-09-26): Payment of Wages Act Payment of Wages Resources: [...] In this case (Waitress v A Restaurant ADJ-00027090), the employee claims she was never paid for any work undertaken. The employee was employed by her employer restaurant from 05 February 2020 until 08 February 2020. She worked a total of 30 hours. Her hourly rate of pay was €13 per hour. The employer did not attend the hearing and therefore the evidence was uncontested. That being the case, the WRC found that, under Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1991, the employee was entitled to €390 in respect of her unpaid wages. As is customary, payment was ordered within 42 days from the date of the decision of the adjudicator.

[...] Fact: As per the Government’s MIS system, timely payment of wages has been made in 84.52% cases in 2017-18. However, a research paper by Azim Premji University that analysed a large sample of data concludes that only 32% of the wage payments have been made on time (payments reaching the wage seeker) contrary to the claims of 85%. Moreover, the government clarified in 2017 that the delays are calculated only until the Funds Transfer Order (FTO) is generated at the block/panchayat level. It does not take into account the actual receipt of the payment by the worker. Hence the claim is PARTLY TRUE.

Claim: BBC removes Kashmir from the Indian map (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-30)
Evidence (2023-01-30): BBC did not publish any distorted map of India, following the release of the controversial documentary on Modi. The viral image is old and dates back to 2015, when BBC in its report covering Modi’s foreign visit displayed a distorted India map, without Jammu Kashmir. Even after that incident, BBC, on multiple occasions misrepresented the Indian map. In fact, in 2021, BBC apologized after a report related to US elections carried a distorted map of India. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.
Claim: BBC removes Kashmir from the Indian map (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-30)
Evidence (2023-09-01): All of the Kashmir region is disputed by India and Pakistan, and both countries as well as China control parts of it. Militant groups operating in Indian-administered Kashmir are based in Pakistan and are long believed to have the support of Pakistan's intelligence services, an allegation Islamabad firmly rejects. [...] The BBC has learnt that the list of Kashmiri journalists not allowed to leave India has dozens of names, but it's not been made public. We asked the police about the legal basis for these "look out circulars", as they are referred to in official parlance, and have not received a reply.

Claim: BBC removes Kashmir from the Indian map (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-30)
Evidence (2019-08-13): At the end of October, Jammu and Kashmir will cease to be a state of India. [...] By stripping Jammu and Kashmir of its statehood and dismembering it - an action without precedent in post-Independence India- the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has gone far beyond that. [...] Second, Delhi's repression in Jammu and Kashmir from the 1950s onwards was always justified by the peculiar argument that keeping Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir as part of India, by any means necessary, was essential to validating India's claim of being a "secular state". Mr Modi and Mr Shah, both hardline Hindu nationalists, have no use for such contorted rationales.

Claim: BBC removes Kashmir from the Indian map (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-30)
Evidence (2024-10-04): The Israeli government has taken down a map of India that incorrectly depicted Jammu and Kashmir on the country’s official website following an outcry on social media. The map was taken down after an Indian influencer raised the issue on the social media platform X. "India stands with Israel. But does Israel stand with India? Note the map of India (pay attention to Jammu & Kashmir) on Israel’s official website," wrote Abhijit Chavda on X, who has close to two lakh followers on the platform. [...] "Greatly appreciate Government of Israel’s proactive step to remove the incorrect map of India. Demonstrates Israel’s friendship with India, and genuine desire to strengthen the friendship. India stands with Israel," he said. This appreciation for Israel’s prompt response and the overwhelming support for the Jewish state from Indians on social media comes as it is embroiled in multiple fronts of war in West Asia.
