🚨 Beware of Fake Claims!
A message being circulated on WhatsApp and other social media platforms falsely claims that the RBI has announced new cheque book rules, coming into effect from January 1, 2027.
#PIBFactCheck:
❌ The claim is FAKE.
✅ The @RBI has made NO such announcement.
ℹ️ Verify information through official sources and do not share or forward unverified claims.
It has come to the notice of the Reserve Bank of India that a message is circulating on social media claiming that the standard Cheque Truncation System (CTS) cheque books currently in use will change from December 31, 2026 and the new cheque books featuring updated security standards will come into effect from January 1, 2027.
It is clarified that at present Reserve Bank of India is not introducing any such measures with regard to the CTS cheque books. As such, the message is factually incorrect and misleading.
Members of public are requested to rely only on the information published by RBI from time to time in such matters.

People have voted you to function in Parliament. Why resort to mock parliaments?
Regime change happens through the electoral process, not street protests.
If you don't believe in the electoral process, how did your governments in Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh get elected?

Every Budget comes with new challenges and an overwhelming responsibility to deliver for the people and India's growth.
Since my first Budget in July 2019, the people of India have responded positively to our policies.
Despite the odds, Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi has provided stability in leadership. Consistency has been his virtue.

Under Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi's leadership, we have always welcomed and responded to industry's suggestions.
Government and industry must work together to build Viksit Bharat. We have reached an inflexion point and we should not fail ourselves.

We have started doing things differently by explicitly trusting the people, businesses, farmers and taxpayers.
Our GST, income tax and other policy reforms are built on this trust.
Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi wants every policy to reflect this principle - trust the business, trust the industry, trust the taxpayer. That will be our charter.

Capex is a very important component of our growth strategy. Its multiplier effect has delivered good results over the last few years and we shall continue to ensure that India's growth momentum is not lost.

The World Bank report reflects the results of our consistent approach to dealing with poverty by expanding access to healthcare, education and financial inclusion.

‘Insurance for All’ is already a goal for the Government of India. Insurance should deepen and reach the last citizen who needs coverage.
Access to credit, AI-enabled skilling of youth and strengthening our banking system to meet the requirements of Viksit Bharat are equally important priorities.
