FAQ :
The ICAI is warning its members, students, and the general public about imposters who are making fraudulent phone calls, sending scam messages via WhatsApp and SMS, and circulating misleading emails.
They are falsely claiming to represent the ICAI to obtain personal information, sensitive documents, banking details, OTPs, and demand payments through unofficial channels. They may also share misleading announcements or suspicious links.
No, the ICAI categorically clarifies that it does not seek sensitive personal information such as passwords, OTPs, CVV numbers, or internet banking credentials through phone calls, WhatsApp, SMS, or emails.
All official payments and transactions related to ICAI services should only be made through authorised ICAI portals/websites and approved payment mechanisms.
You should exercise utmost caution, not share personal or financial information, not click on suspicious links, and not rely on unverified messages. You are advised to immediately report such suspicious calls/messages to the ICAI with relevant screenshots and details.
Impersonation, circulation of false information, misuse of the ICAI's name/logo, and unauthorised communications are prohibited by law and attract punitive actions. The ICAI reserves the right to initiate legal and/or criminal proceedings against such imposters.
