issues a critical advisory urging all stakeholders, including Directors, Deans, Nodal Officers, and Principal Investigators (P*s) across all academic and research institutions, to remain vigilant against fraudulent activities being carried out in its name.

Recent reports have highlighted instances where unidentified individuals are approaching institutions with fake grant-backed offers, demanding some percentage of the grant value, often misusing the names of popular ANRF schemes/programs to appear credible.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲:
• ANRF does NOT ask for any advance payments for grants or partnerships;
• Requests involving escrow transfers, urgency pressure, or unofficial email IDs are strong indicators of fraud;
• Use of institutional names without verifiable official domain emails should raise immediate concern;
• Verify all such communications through official institutional channels; and
• Share suspicious communications with ANRF at [email protected] before taking any action.
