Someone added my email id to their account on Income tax website

Dear All,

Need some advice on how to handle this situation. It appears that someone has mistakenly added my email id to their Income tax login on incometax efiling website. I have received their email for income tax submission.

Can you suggest how should I proceed on this matter? It is unlikely that I would be able to reach out to that person as I only have a name. How should I report this to IT folks so that they can get this corrected?

Regards

Abhishek

Quick Summary
An individual has discovered their email address has been added to someone else's Income Tax e-filing account, likely as a secondary contact. They are seeking advice on how to have their email removed from the account, as they cannot directly contact the individual and need to report the issue to the Income Tax authorities for correction.

Email ID cannot be updated in income tqx efiling site without providing OTP received in the mail ID. So please recall if you have given your mail ID to someone your relatives or colleagues

Thanks for the response.

I checked on the IT efiling website regarding this. There is provision to add primary as well as secondary contacts. The OTP is sent to only primary contacts - email & Mobile and not to secondary contact.

So, in all likelihood, someone has added my email id as secondary contact.

Regards

Abhishek
