I-T dept cautions public against phishing emails for tax refunds

NEW DELHI, Jul 18 : The Income Tax Department on Friday cautioned the public against phishing emails relating to tax refund and asked people not to click on suspicious links.

In a post on X, the I-T department said it never asks for bank details or personal information of a taxpayer via email.

It advised taxpayers to verify refund status only on the official website ( incometax.gov.in).

“Fake Income Tax Refund Email Warning! Received an email about an “Income Tax Refund” requiring urgent “manual confirmation”? This is a #phishing scam!,” the I-T department said. (PTI)
