I am trying to pay my income tax online. I visited incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and clicked on E-Pay tax. It said this screen will take you to a webpage outside incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in

I clicked on ok, a new window opened and I got the following message:

This is probably not the site you are looking for!
You attempted to reach onlineservices.tin.nsdl.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as onlineservices.tin.egov-nsdl.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of onlineservices.tin.nsdl.com.
You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.

I want to know is it safe to proceed or is it a hacking attempt.

Sir,

My old mother 71, is widow. She has two daughters and no son.My father has left one house in urban area. My mother wants to gift this house to her two daughters in two equal portions, in her life time. We both sisters are married and filing our tax returns. What will be the tax liability to us; or will it be tax free in our hands? What we will have to do for this, so that it may become tax free?

Mother has also made a will in name of we two sisters, which will be applicable after her death only.
