Claim: People receive Rs.5 for returning an empty water bottle in Ayodhya.
Fact-check: People do not get ₹5 upon returning an empty bottle, they get their deposit amount back. - FACTLY
Verdict: the kabadiwala, in partnership with ayodhya nagar nigam to promote a litter-free ayodhya, has implemented a program known as the deposit refund system . under this initiative, consumers are required to pay an additional rs. 5 as a deposit when purchasing items like beverages and chip packets, which come with qr codes. upon returning these empty containers with qr codes to a designated collection point, the kabadiwala executives will scan the qr codes on the empty bottles or packets and refund the consumers their deposit. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
