Several pensioners have reported receiving fraudulent SMS messages claiming that their pension has been blocked due to missing PAN/KYC and urging them to click malicious links or download remote access apps like AnyDesk. Please note that the Government of Jharkhand and Treasuries never request OTPs, banking credentials, or remote screen-sharing. For any verification, consult your local district pensioner branch office.
