Hello,

I am receiving the multiples text messages with other names and PAN numbers (none of the names/ PAN numbers are mine):

Attention NAME (PAN NUMBER)
Based on available information with Income Tax department, it appears that you were required to file ITR for A.Y. 2022-23 but have not filed yet. Please file your ITR or submit online response under e-Campaign tab on Compliance Portal. Access Compliance Portal after login to the e-filing Portal (https://www.incometax.gov.in), go to "Pending Actions" tab, click on "Compliance Portal" and select "e-Campaign (AY 2021-22 onwards)". On Compliance Portal, under e-Campaign list, view campaign type ''Non-Filing of Return''. Please ignore if ITR has already been filed. - ITD

I have already filed my taxes for the AY 2022-23.

Is anyone else receiving these messages? Is this a system glitch? Can anyone advise on what should be done?

Quick Summary

Several individuals are reporting receipt of Income Tax Department messages regarding non-filing of ITR for AY 2022-23, but the messages contain incorrect PANs and names. Despite having filed their own taxes, these alerts are causing confusion. It's suggested this may be due to a mistaken link of mobile numbers to other PAN holders on the e-filing site, rather than a system glitch.
