Fake income tax refund e-mail

These days income tax assessee’s face various Fraudulent Income Tax Refund E-mail from Fake Income Tax Web Sites. These emails are appear to have been sent from Income Tax Department, but were actually online traps to dupe unsuspecting victims.

The Correct Procedure of Refund: The Income Tax Refund is generated only through filing income tax retruns and not by other means. Once the returns has been filed the I.T. Department process the return electonically and then automatically transfer the refund to Bank A/c.

Please note following two things which should be keep in Mind by every Tax Assessee:-

  1. The Income Tax Department does NOT request detailed personal information through e-mail. 
  2. The Income Tax Department does NOT send e-mail requesting your PIN numbers, passwords or similar access information for credit cards, banks or other financial accounts.
