A fake website with Beti Bachao Beti Padhao logo is duping people posing as a government-backed saving scheme, warned an official with the Women and Child Development today.
The fake portal is made to appear a partner of the Ministry of Women and Child Development which aims to secure the future of girl children in the country, the official added.
Advising the people to not fall prey to such fraud, the women and child development ministry has issued a circular stating the ministry does not host the portal and it has not published any kind of form or information on the website.
All details of the ministry are published only on www.wcd.nic.in, the circular read.
An official said a SMS and Whatsapp message is circulating, asking persons with girl children between the ages of 1 to 18 years
