If you live on rent or have a kutcha house, then you would want to have your own house. But nowadays buying a house seems no less than the fulfillment of a dream. The biggest reason for this is the continuously increasing property prices. In such a situation, it is very challenging for the poor class to build their own house, and keeping this in mind, the Central Government started the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Under this scheme, there is a provision to provide financial assistance to eligible people to build houses, but if you are going to apply for this scheme then you need to be a little careful. Otherwise, you can also become a victim of fraud, because fraudsters do not desist from cheating even in the name of PM Awas Yojana. So whenever you go for an application, pay special attention to some things. So let's know about them...

To avoid fraud, keep these things in mind:-
Number 1

If you have gone to apply for PM Awas Yojana, then you have to take special care of one thing do not give your real Aadhar card to anyone. Just show it to the concerned officer and then take it back. Many fraudsters can misuse your Aadhaar.

Number 2
Do not share confidential information of your bank account with anyone. For example, do not give debit card PIN, CVV, debit card number, or any OTP received on mobile which mentions deduction of money, etc. Otherwise, you may become a victim of fraud.

Number 3
Know one thing well the government does not charge any money for applying for PM Awas Yojana. If someone is asking you for money in exchange for the application or is telling you that he will get you the money, you just have to pay him a commission, etc. So don't fall into the trap of such people.

Number 4
Many times people are ineligible, but many fraudsters get such people to apply wrongly. Note that do not make such a mistake at all, because these people get your application done, but under the government rules, ineligible people do not get the benefit and these fraudsters take money from you in exchange for the application.
