Red Flags

- "You have been selected" messages — no government body sends selection messages via WhatsApp or SMS
- Payment demands — no legitimate government job requires payment for selection, joining, or processing
- Fake application links on social media — always apply through the official website
How to Stay Safe
- Only use .gov.in and .nic.in websites
- Never pay money to anyone claiming to offer a government job
- Cross-verify any notification on the official website
