The Income Tax Department will have the authority to access individuals’ emails and social media accounts to curb tax evasion starting 01 April 2026.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The review says the Income Tax Act, 2025 takes effect on 01 April 2026, but its Section 247 does not grant new powers to access private digital accounts. It says emails and other digital records may be examined only within the lawful scope of an official search or survey, and describes the claim of general access as unsupported by the law. [S1]
The video shows Bangladeshi police handing over Dipu Chandra Das to extremists before his death.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The video does not show police handing Dipu Chandra Das to extremists: it shows a Dhaka College student detained by police and later released. The clip was uploaded in November 2025, several weeks before Das’s killing, and the review identifies the student as a different person.

Publisher’s rating: گمراهکننده
Video of a Muslim woman protesting against Bihar CM Nitish Kumar for pulling the Hijab of a woman at an event in Patna on 15 December 2025.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
The video shows lyricist, poet, and screenwriter Javed Akhtar backing Bihar CM Nitish Kumar amid the Hijab-pulling controversy.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
FACTLY reports that the video was recorded at the SOA Bhubaneswar Literary Festival on 29 November 2025, before the controversy, and that Akhtar did not mention or justify Nitish Kumar’s actions in it. The review says Akhtar later condemned Kumar’s actions in an X post dated 18 December 2025.
The viral video shows Lionel Messi attending an event at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad during his GOAT India Tour.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY reports that the video shows a Coldplay concert at Narendra Modi Stadium on 26 January 2025, months before Messi’s December 2025 tour. It says Messi visited Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi—not Ahmedabad—during that tour.
The Supreme Court of India, in Civil Writ Petition No. 2490 and Case No. 8222/2024, reduced the pension commutation recovery period from 15 years to 10 years and 8 months due to falling interest rates. The government also issued an gazette notification in this regard.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY reports that the Gazette graphic concerns PFRDA and the National Pension System, not pension commutation, and that the cited cases were filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court—not the Supreme Court. It says no ruling or notification reduced the 15-year restoration period to 10 years and 8 months; the applicable rule remains 15 years.
インフルエンザワクチン「フルミスト」は劇薬だから危険?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
The review explains that “劇薬” designation means a medicine requires careful handling and does not, by itself, mean the vaccine is dangerous. It notes that FluMist is not recommended for certain people, including those with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, who are advised to use an inactivated influenza vaccine instead.
