Fact Check News: These days a picture is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which it is being claimed that Tata Group is being paid only Re 1 for the construction of the new Parliament House. This claim is being made when PM Modi recently inspected the new Parliament House.The pictures going viral were captioned with a picture of the new Parliament House, which reads 'New Indian House, two new records. It was built in just 17 months. The Tatas made it and the cost to the government was only Re 1. This is Tata's gift to the country. Salute Sir, your team and the entire Tata Group.

These pictures are becoming increasingly viral on social media. Also, it is being claimed that Tata took only Re 1 for the construction of the new Parliament House and completed it in 17 months. Whereas, when our Fact Check team found out about this, things looked quite different.

News Verification: When we searched the documents related to Tata Group and Parliament House, we found a report of Economic Times, in which it was written that in 861.9 crores, Tata Projects talked about completing the Parliament project, while L&T (Larsen and Toubro) agreed to complete the project. The cost of the bid was Rs 865 crore.After this, our team found that the things said in the pictures going viral on social media are baseless. Also, Tata is doing this project not for Re 1 but for Rs 961.9 crore. Also, the talk of its completion in 17 months was also not found to be true, this project is still under construction. The viral claim is false.

News Verdict: Tata is not doing this project for Re 1 but for Rs 961.9 crore. Also, the talk of its completion in 17 months was also not found to be true, this project is still under construction. The viral claim is false.
