‘Claims by Congress on digital fraud baseless’

Dismissing the Congress claims that people have lost Rs 6.36 lakh crore due to digital frauds, government sources said losses due to such frauds were only Rs 733 crore between April 2014 and December 2024.

A post by the Congress (@INCIndia) on X dated June 1, 2025, alleged that the Modi government failed in saving people’s hard-earned money by questioning the government’s handling of digital banking security. Congress is “indulging in misrepresentation” of facts by conflating specific digital payment frauds with the much broader category of total banking frauds, the government sources said.
