In a citizen-centric address via ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi drilled down on fortifying digital finances through diligent KYC adherence, re-KYC renewals, and consistent password rotations. The 131st installment underscored ongoing threats like ‘digital arrest’ swindles despite repeated alerts.
Addressing apprehensions head-on, Modi clarified that bank notifications for verification are safeguards, not scares. ‘Your money’s safety demands it—pensions, subsidies, UPI, insurance—all hinge on secure accounts,’ he noted. Timely compliance is vital in our interconnected financial landscape.
Scammers’ playbook is predictable: bogus communications luring the unwary. Modi’s prescription? Exclusive use of bank branches, sanctioned apps, or portals for KYC. Zero tolerance for sharing OTPs or info. And make password changes routine to stay ahead.
Tying it to national strength, he proclaimed, ‘Vigilant citizens construct a self-reliant India.’
Optimism flowed as Modi recapped the ‘India AI Impact Summit’. Conversations with global dignitaries and tech heads revealed AI’s prowess: aiding animal treatments and granting farmers perpetual oversight of dairy and animal health through cutting-edge monitoring. This summit marks India’s strategic embrace of AI for inclusive growth.
