Our fact-check desk verifies claims circulating in the news and on social media.
"New data-protection law requires all citizens to register biometric data by December."
The Digital Governance Bill does not introduce any new biometric registration requirement. This claim appears to conflate the bill with an unrelated, unconfirmed proposal circulating on social media.
"RBI's repo rate has stayed unchanged for over a year."
The repo rate has been held for three consecutive quarterly reviews (roughly nine months), not over a year. Technically close but the timeframe is exaggerated.
"ISRO has confirmed a crewed lunar mission for 2027."
ISRO's 2027 target is for an uncrewed sample-return mission (Chandrayaan-4), not a crewed lunar landing. No crewed lunar mission has been officially scheduled.
"The national highway project received final environmental clearance this week."
Confirmed via the Ministry of Environment's public clearance registry, dated this week.
