Such scam messages springs up usually immediately after any scheme announcement by Government.

Debunked such many times earlier, in fact since 3 years.
The man behind this website earns from 2 sources
1. It can sell of your mobile number for tele marketing
2. It earns from the advertising banners on it’s page
It has nothing to do with government official website
It asks you to share this in 8-10 whatsapp groups and many fall for this, visit the site (traffic, money from ads) and give out their mobile numbers (mobile database for tele marketing)
