Free Scooty Scheme 2025 - Fact Check: PIB Fact Check debunked a claim circulating on YouTube that all Aadhaar card holders are eligible for a free scooty under a 'Free Scooty Scheme 2025.' The claim was found to be false.

Free Scooty Scheme 2025 - PIB Fact Check: PIB Fact Check, a fact-checking unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the Government of India's nodal agency to disseminate information to the media, debunked a claim circulating on YouTube that all Aadhaar card holders are eligible for a free scooty under a 'Free Scooty Scheme 2025.' 

The claim was found to be false. The government of India does not operate any such scheme. In an X post, PIB Fact Check clarified that the claim, which appeared in the thumbnail of a YouTube video by "NaukariNeta-fn3bo," is fake. 

It said, "Claim: Under the Free Scooty Scheme 2025, all women and men in India will get free scooty. This claim made in the video thumbnail of YouTube channel "NaukariNeta-fn3bo" is fake." 

The thumbnail also stated that the scheme was valid for both men and women across India. PIB Fact Check shared the misleading thumbnails in their post, emphasizing that the information is false.
