CBIC warns of fake GST notices
The CBIC, which is a part of the Indian government, has warned people about fake notices that look like they are from the GST department.
These fake notices use the official GST logo and fake numbers to trick people.
The CBIC says that if you get any notice, you should check a special number called the DIN on their official website to see if it is real.
If it is not real, you should tell the CBIC right away.
This is to help protect people from being fooled by these fake notices.
CBIC has warned about fake GST notices being sent to businesses.
Fraudsters use the CGST logo and fake DIN numbers to make the notices look genuine.
Taxpayers are advised to verify the DIN on the CBIC portal to check the authenticity of the notices.
If the DIN is not genuine, taxpayers should report the fraud immediately.
The warning was issued in response to a complaint on social media about a fake GST call.
