“The Government of India is set to launch a nationwide free travel scheme for senior citizens aged 60 and above, which will provide free transportation across multiple modes of transport starting from 15 June 2025.”
What FACTLY found
The viral articles circulating on various websites, claiming that the Government of India is set to launch a nationwide free travel scheme for senior citizens aged 60 and above—offering free transportation across multiple modes from 15 June 2025—are false and baseless. There are no official reports or statements from the Government of India or the relevant ministries regarding any such scheme.
