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.
