Government grants EGP 2,500 to citizens for this procedure.. Fact or rumor

The Media Center of the Council of Ministers said that the news circulated by some websites and social media pages regarding the Ministry of Supply providing financial grants to citizens at a value of 2,500 pounds in exchange for registering their personal data through the ministry’s website is incorrect.

The Media Center of the Council of Ministers communicated with the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, which denied these reports, stressing that it is not true to provide financial grants to citizens at a value of 2,500 pounds in return for registering their personal data via the ministry’s website.

Although the Media Center of the Council of Ministers denied this rumor before, it was noticed that it was re-circulated. The website circulating for that news is fake and not affiliated with the ministry at all.

The media center of the council stressed that all forms of support and exceptional grants that are provided to citizens are announced through the official website of the Ministry "www.msit.gov.eg", noting that the Ministry continues to provide the exceptional social protection package that ranges between 100 to 300 pounds, and the beneficiary is more from 10 million families registered on ration cards until next June 30.

The center appealed to all media outlets and social media users to investigate accuracy and objectivity in publishing news, and to communicate with the concerned authorities to make sure before publishing information.
