Advisory against fraudulent websites for PM-KUSUM Scheme registration

Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued a fresh advisory against fraudulent websites claiming registration under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) Scheme.

“It is recently noticed that two new websites have recently cropped up illegally claiming registration portal for PM-KUSUM Scheme. Web addresses of the said websites are https://kusum-yojana.co.in/ and https://www.onlinekusumyojana.co.in/. The miscreants behind these websites are potentially duping general public and misusing data captured through these fake portals,” a statement issued by MNRE said. It adds, while MNRE is taking action against the miscreants behind these websites, it is advised to all potential beneficiaries and general public by the ministry to be informed and avoid depositing money or data on these websites.

MNRE has also advised news portals to check the authenticity of websites claiming to be registration portal for Government Schemes before publishing them on digital or print platforms.
