Letter offers hefty rent, job against space for Wi-Fi towers; ‘fake’ says govt

The government has denied it issued an agreement letter promising hefty sum as rent and a government job to the family which will offer space for setting up Wi-Fi towers. The denial has been posted by PIB Fact Check on its Twitter handle along with the fake letter.

The ‘agreement letter’ carries Digital India logo on top and the seal of compliance office (with incorrect spelling) and the text is written in Hindi for the people living in rural areas.

The document also seeks a non-refundable payment of ₹730.

In a tweet, PIB Fact Check clarified that the letter has not been sent by the Government of India and is fake.
