Fake GST Summons Verification

Press Release dated January 24th, 2025

The CBIC has issued a press release to caution taxpayers against fraudsters issuing fake and fraudulent Summons for GST violations. The fake summons resembles very closely with the original due to use of Department’s logo and Document Identification Number (DIN).

However, these DIN numbers are fake and are used by the fraudsters to make the document look and feel genuine. Now, the taxpayers can verify online any communication from DGGI or any office of CGST by using the ‘VERIFY CBIC-DIN’ window on CBIC website. On verifying the DIN, if any individual or taxpayer finds that the Summon/letter/Notice is fake, it may immediately be reported to the office concerned.
