A video of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman promoting an investment scheme promising ₹5,000 per hour and claiming it can generate ₹1 crore in six months is making the rounds on social media. The Press Information Bureau’s (PIB) fact-checking unit has termed the video fake and said that it is AI-generated.

PIB also confirmed that neither the Finance Minister nor the Government of India has announced or endorsed any such scheme. “A doctored video of Union Finance Minister @nsitharaman is being circulated online, falsely suggesting that she is promoting an investment scheme promising ₹5,000 per hour and claiming it can generate ₹1 crore in six months. This video is FAKE and AI-generated,” PIB’s post on X read.
