FAQ :
PIB Fact Check is warning taxpayers about fake emails that impersonate the Income Tax Department and ask for 'manual verification'.
Do not click on any suspicious links or share personal, financial, or sensitive information via email, SMS, or phone. Report the phishing attempt immediately.
The Income Tax Department generally conducts official correspondence through its e-filing portal or other registered communication channels.
You can report phishing attempts at the official reporting page: https://incometaxindia.gov.in/pages/report-phishing.aspx
These fake emails are phishing attempts designed to trick you into disclosing personal details or bank credentials, which can be misused for identity theft or financial fraud.
