Your family group is wrong again. DisMis settles what is doing the rounds in India, free: a forward, a post, a headline, a rumour, a bit of gossip, or something you only half heard.
Saw something online, got it as a forward, or just heard it somewhere? Paste it here. We read what the actual reporting says and stamp it. Takes about as long as typing it did.
Or open the DisMis app and paste it there. Free, no signup, no install, no ₹.
The scoreboard
Numbers, not vibes.
Everything below is counted off the live database. It moves while you read it.
Straight off the database, not a marketing slide. Refresh and watch it move.
Why this exists
Nobody forwards a lie on purpose.
They forward it because it came from someone they trust, it sounded plausible, and checking it would have meant opening four tabs and reading a government press release at eleven at night. So it goes out. Then it goes out again. By morning it is a fact in three group chats and an argument at breakfast.
DisMis is the four tabs. You paste one line, we do the reading, you get a straight answer with the receipts attached. Then you can send that instead.
How it works
Three steps. One of them is yours.
Paste it
A forward, an Instagram post, a YouTube claim, a headline, something you overheard. Whatever form it arrived in. No account, no install, no email address.
We read the record
Live news reporting and the professional claim-verification archives, checked for what is actually on the record about this exact claim, not something near it.
You get the stamp and the sources
One of four calls, plainly worded, plus every source the check used with a link on each. Argue with them, not with us.
The four calls
Four stamps. No maybes hiding in the wording.
Most checkers bury the answer in a paragraph. DisMis puts it in a stamp across the clipping, then explains itself underneath. Including the stamp for when it does not know.
The reporting contradicts it. Do not send this one on.
Credible sources confirm it. Forward away, with the link.
A real fact, stretched. The part that got stretched is named.
Nothing on the record settles it yet. We say that instead of guessing.
Off the record
Forwards that did the rounds, and how they ended.
Real cards from the archive, the six most-read first. Every one of these landed in somebody's family group before it landed here. Open any of them and read the check.
A genuine claim
India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan did resign on July 25, 2026, after youth protests over NEET paper leak issues.A false forward
India completed 79 years of independence on August 15, 2026, not 80.Half-true at best
The protest happened and detentions occurred, but sources conflict on the number detained—some report over 50, others report 30 or fewer.Half-true at best
One leader did fall ill: South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa was booked off public engagements on medical advice…A genuine claim
H1N1 cases are documented as rising across Indian cities this year, with Delhi alone reporting 1,777 cases by late…A false forward
Djokovic lost in the first round of the 2026 US Open, but has not announced retirement — sources report uncertainty…What you get
Everything on one card, nothing behind a login.
Sources, linked
Every card lists what the check actually read, each one clickable. You are never asked to take our word for it.
Where it started
Where a claim first appeared, and how it moved from there into your group. The route is usually more telling than the claim.
A flag on every card
Think a verdict is wrong? Report it from the card. It gets re-opened and re-checked. Corrections happen in public.
Built for messy text
Not for press releases. Paste a caption, a screenshot's worth of text, or a messy WhatsApp block with three arrows and a "PLS FORWARD" at the end. It will still find the claim inside.
Shareable verdict
Every card has its own link and unfurls properly in WhatsApp and X. Send the verdict, not another paragraph of you being right.
No account, no tracking pixels
Nothing to sign up for and nothing to uninstall. What we store is written down on the privacy page, in words.
On your phone
It looks like this.
One thumb, one paste, one answer. The whole thing fits on a screen.

No ministry announcement, budget line or state portal carries this scheme. The message has been recycled with the year changed.

Fair questions
The ones people actually ask.
How do I check if a WhatsApp forward is fake?
Copy the message and paste it into DisMis. It gets checked against live news reporting and claim-verification archives and comes back stamped DISMISSED, LEGIT, MID or SUS, with every source listed and linked. No signup, nothing to install.
Is DisMis free?
Yes, and there is no account. There is a fair-use ceiling of eight checks an hour per reader, which exists so one person cannot burn the service down for everybody else. If you are hitting it, you are researching, not checking a forward.
What do DISMISSED, LEGIT, MID and SUS actually mean?
DISMISSED means the reporting contradicts it. LEGIT means credible sources confirm it. MID means true in part, misleading in the rest, usually a real fact that has been stretched. SUS means nothing on the public record settles it either way yet, so we say so rather than guess. That fourth one is the one most checkers do not have.
Is DisMis a scam?
We do not issue a verdict on ourselves. A website that investigates itself and comes back clean has told you nothing you could act on. What we can do is show the working. Every card prints the sources it used. The registration for dismis.in is public, so WHOIS it rather than believing either side. Who runs this is on the About page. Or put the question to DisMis itself and it will answer you to your face.
Do I need to install an app?
No. For now DisMis runs entirely in the browser, on any phone or laptop. Open the site, paste, read. If you want it on your home screen, add it from your browser menu. An app may follow later for a smoother run of the same thing, but you will never need one to get a verdict.
Does DisMis report news?
No. We are not a news outlet and we do not break stories. We check the ones already going around: a forward in the family group, a post, a reel, a screenshot of a headline, or something you only heard.
Go on then. Paste the one you are not sure about.
It is free, it takes seconds, and being the person in the group who checks first is a genuinely good look.
