In an effort to curb financial fraud and enhance financial literacy, a special programme ‘Arthsutra Samvad’ was organized at an educational institution in Delhi–NCR. This initiative is being conducted under the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) campaign to enhance financial literacy and awareness, aiming to spread knowledge about financial discipline, online fraud prevention, and good money management practices. The core purpose is to simplify personal finance so that people can take well-informed decisions with confidence and clarity. India’s largest private sector Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC), Bajaj Finance Limited, organized the event in which students enthusiastically participated. Addressing the students, Dr. Pranay Kumar, ACP of Badli, said that nowadays criminals mostly misuse Aadhaar cards for fraud. When people submit their Aadhaar for hotel check-ins or photocopies, it may reach fraudsters, and since Aadhaar is linked to bank accounts, criminals can access sensitive financial details. He advised not to give Aadhaar card copies to anyone, and instead use a driving license or voter ID when needed.
