The PIB Fact Check has warned taxpayers about a fake notice circulating online in the name of the Income Tax Department, demanding a payment of ₹6,000 as part of the taxpayer’s amount due. PIB Fact Check clarified that the notice is fake and part of a phishing attempt. The Income Tax Department does not issue such notices. Taxpayers are advised to remain cautious, avoid clicking on suspicious links or making payments based on unverified messages, and rely only on official Income Tax Department sources for tax-related information. Suspicious content related to the Central Government can also be reported to PIB Fact Check. CASansaar
