Red Flags - Kaise Pehchano Fake Recruitment?
| Red Flag | Reality |
|---|---|
| Registration fee demand | Sarkari job me pehle paise nahi lete |
| WhatsApp/Telegram recruitment | Official website pe hoti hai bharti |
| "Direct Bharti" / "No Exam" | Government jobs me exam hota hai |
| "Last 3 din" urgency | Fake urgency tactics |
| UPI/Paytm payment | Government challan/bank se payment hoti hai |
| Personal mobile numbers | Official helpdesk numbers hote hain |
Official vs Fake - Comparison
| Feature | Official PMRCL | Fake Scam |
|---|---|---|
| Notification kahan | Nagar Vikas evam Awas Vibhag ki site (state.bihar.gov.in/urban) + akhbaar | Sirf WhatsApp/fake website |
| Paisa | PMRCL ne likha hai: koi fee, bank detail ya card detail kabhi nahi maangte | Rs 2,500 se Rs 60,000 tak UPI/cash |
| Selection Process | Notice me likha process | "Direct Selection", kiraye ke office me interview |
| Communication | Official email (@bihar.gov.in) | Personal WhatsApp, gmail |
| Website | PMRCL ki apni koi alag "career website" nahi hai | pmrcl-recruitment.in jaise naam |
Zaroori: "pmrcl.in" naam ki website ko bhi PMRCL ki official mat samjho - 3 September 2026 ko humne khud kholi, wo ek khaali parked domain thi, PMRCL ki nahi.
PMRCL Jobs Kaise Verify Karein?
- Nagar Vikas evam Awas Vibhag ki site (state.bihar.gov.in/urban) par "Recruitment" section dekho - PMRCL ne khud likha hai ki asli vacancy sirf yahin aur bade akhbaaron me chhapti hai
- PMRCL ka X (Twitter) handle @PMRCLofficial dekho - dono fraud-alert notice wahin se aaye the
- Email ka domain dekho - PMRCL ka 2023 ka recruitment email
recruitment.pmrcl@bihar.gov.intha; gmail/yahoo wala "PMRCL" fake hai - Koi fee, bank detail, card detail maange = fake - PMRCL ne notice me yahi likha hai
- "Office aakar interview do" bole to pata verify karo - PMRCL ka daftar Indira Bhawan, Boring Canal Road, Patna hai; Vigrahpur wale kiraye ke kamre me interview nahi hota

FAQs
Q: Patna Metro me sachhi vacancy kab aati hai? A: PMRCL ke 1 Sep 2025 ke notice ke mutabik us waqt koi bharti chal hi nahi rahi thi. Jab aayegi, Nagar Vikas evam Awas Vibhag ki site aur akhbaar me aayegi. WhatsApp pe kabhi nahi.
Q: Website bilkul real jaisi thi, kaise pehchanu?
A: PMRCL ki koi alag recruitment website hai hi nahi - notice sarkari .bihar.gov.in site par aata hai. pmrcl-jobs.in, pmrcl-recruitment.com jaisa kuch bhi fake hai.
Yaad Rakhein: "Sarkari naukri free mein milti hai, khareed ke nahi." Koi bhi government job ke liye direct payment kabhi mat karein. Official notification wait karein aur sirf government portals se apply karein.
