@PostConstruct method of @ViewScoped bean is called two times on page refresh

I have a bean called indexBean and it has an init method. My bean is set to be ViewScoped. 

@PostConstruct
public void init(){
    ...
    System.out.println("entered");
    ...
}

Why the init() method is called twice when I refresh the page?
