Deoghar, March 24: The Deoghar district administration has issued a high alert to the beneficiaries of the Maiya Samman Yojna regarding cyber frauds.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Vishal Sagar highlighted that fraudsters are attempting to deceive beneficiaries through calls or messages, claiming to represent the ambitious scheme.
Instructions to Avoid Sharing Bank Details
DC Vishal Sagar cautioned beneficiaries to avoid sharing their bank account details with anyone claiming to be an official or staff member associated with the Maiya Samman Yojna. He emphasized that such calls should be reported immediately to the police using the helpline number.

“If you receive a call from anyone claiming to be an official or staff member offering assistance with the Maiya Samman Yojna benefits or installment payments, do not share your bank account details with the caller,” the DC said.
Helpline for Immediate Reporting
The Deoghar administration has provided a helpline number (100) for beneficiaries to report any suspicious calls. Beneficiaries are encouraged to notify the police or the nearest police station if they receive calls from individuals claiming to be government officials offering assistance with the scheme. This allows concerned authorities to take swift action against the fraudsters.
Deoghar Takes Lead in Combating Cyber Frauds
Deoghar is the first district in the state to issue such an alert for Maiya Samman Yojna beneficiaries. With the majority of beneficiaries residing in rural areas, they are particularly vulnerable to cyber fraud.
The district, which has emerged as a hotspot for cyber crimes following Jamtara, is now leading efforts to raise awareness and eliminate the fraud network. The DC has instructed local police stations and cyber crime control authorities to launch a campaign to protect beneficiaries from falling victim to fraud.
