Quick Summary
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is warning taxpayers about fraudsters issuing fake summons for GST violations.

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.

FAQ :

The CBIC is cautioning taxpayers against fraudsters who are issuing fake and fraudulent summons for GST violations.

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.

The fake summons closely resemble original documents, often using the Department’s logo and fake Document Identification Numbers (DINs) to appear genuine.

If a taxpayer suspects a summons is bogus, they should immediately report it to the concerned DGGI or CGST formation.

Reporting fake summons enables the competent DGGI/CGST formation to take law enforcement action against the fraudsters for attempting to dupe the public.
