The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is warning taxpayers about fraudsters issuing fake summons for GST violations. These fraudulent documents closely resemble official ones, often using the department's logo and fake Document Identification Numbers (DINs). Taxpayers can verify the authenticity of any communication, including summons, by using the 'VERIFY CBIC-DIN' window on the CBIC's website. If a summons is found to be fake, it should be immediately reported to the relevant DGGI or CGST formation to enable action against the perpetrators.
Taxpayers can verify online any communication from DGGI or any office of CGST by using the VERIFY CBIC-DIN window on the CBICs website https://esanchar.cbic.gov.in/DIN/DINSearch

Taxpayers can verify any communication by using the 'VERIFY CBIC-DIN' window on the CBIC's website at https://esanchar.cbic.gov.in/DIN/DINSearch.
