Raat 9 baje Sunita ji ke phone par ek call aata hai: "Main income tax department se bol raha hoon. Aapke naam par ₹47,500 ka penalty pending hai. Do ghante mein nahi bhara to warrant nikal jayega." Saath mein WhatsApp par logo wala ek PDF bhi aata hai. Ghabrahat mein hazaaron log aisi hi situation mein paise bhej dete hain. Is guide mein hum asli aur nakli notice ka fark, verify karne ke simple steps, aur galti ho jaye to turant kya karna hai, sab saaf bhasha mein samjha rahe hain.
Quick Summary
- Asli notice par DIN hota hai aur wo aapke portal login mein bhi dikhta hai
- Income Tax ya GST department kabhi OTP, password, CVV ya personal UPI par payment nahi maangta
- Tax ki asli payment sirf official portal ke challan se hoti hai
- Phone ya video call par "arrest" ki dhamki scam ka sabse bada sanket hai
- Galti ho jaye to turant 1930 par call karein aur cybercrime.gov.in par report karein
Asli vs Nakli Notice: Seedha Comparison
| Pehlu | Asli notice | Nakli notice / call |
|---|---|---|
| DIN | Hota hai aur official verification par match karta hai | Hota hi nahi, ya verify karne par match nahi karta |
| Portal par dikhna | e-Proceedings / Pending Actions (income tax) ya GST portal ke notices section mein dikhta hai | Portal par kahin nahi milta |
| Email / website | @incometax.gov.in ya official gov.in domain | Gmail, Yahoo ya milte-julte spelling wale domain |
| Payment | Portal ke challan se, government account mein | Personal UPI ID, bank account ya gift card par |
| Samay | Reply ki ek tay due date hoti hai | "2 ghante mein" ya "aaj hi" jaisa dabaav |
| Maangi gayi jaankari | Documents ya explanation, wo bhi portal par upload ke liye | OTP, password, card number ya CVV |
Income Tax Notice Verify Karne Ke 4 Steps
- Email ya SMS ke link par click na karein. Browser mein khud incometax.gov.in likh kar apne PAN se login karein.
- Pending Actions ya e-Proceedings section mein check karein ki wahi notice wahan dikh raha hai ya nahi.
- Notice par likha DIN portal ke "Authenticate Notice/Order Issued by ITD" wale page par daal kar verify karein.
- Sender ka email domain dekhein. Sirf official gov.in domain par bharosa karein.
Jo notice aapke portal par nahi dikhta aur jiska DIN verify nahi hota, use bina paise bheje ignore karna safe hai. Saath hi use portal ke phishing report option se department ko report kar dein.
GST Notice Ya Summons Kaise Verify Karein
GST mein bhi CBIC ke Circular No. 122/41/2019-GST ke tahat communications par DIN lagana zaroori hai. January 2025 mein CBIC ne saaf warning di thi ki fraudster CBIC ke logo aur fake DIN ke saath nakli GST summons bhej rahe hain, jo kai baar DGGI ki kisi asli investigation se jude hi nahi hote.
- Notice par likha DIN CBIC ke DIN verification page par daal kar check karein.
- gst.gov.in par apne login se notices wale section (View Notices and Orders) mein dekhein ki wahi notice wahan upload hai ya nahi.
- Real GST demand ya show cause notice ka reply bhi portal par hi hota hai. Asli process ke liye hamari GST notice reply guide dekhein.
Common Scams Ek Nazar Mein
| Scam | Kaise kaam karta hai | Bachaav |
|---|---|---|
| Fake refund SMS | Link par bank details bharwa kar paise nikaal leta hai | Refund status sirf portal login par dekhein |
| Fake penalty call | "Abhi paise do varna warrant" ka dabaav | Phone kaatein, DIN aur portal check karein |
| "Digital arrest" video call | Fake officer video par rok kar paise transfer karwata hai | Koi agency video call par arrest nahi karti. 1930 par report karein |
| Fake GST summons | Logo aur nakli DIN wala PDF | CBIC DIN verification aur portal check |
| Fake e-filing app / APK | File install karwa kar phone ka control leta hai | Sirf official website aur app store ke verified app |
Worked Example: ₹47,500 Ka "Penalty" Aur Asli Process
- Caller kehta hai ₹47,500 abhi ek personal UPI ID par bhejo, warna 2 ghante mein action hoga.
- Pehla signal: asli demand kabhi 2 ghante ke ultimatum ke saath nahi aati. Notice mein reply ki tay due date hoti hai.
- Dusra signal: tax ki payment government ke challan se hoti hai, kisi individual ki UPI ID par nahi.
- Teesra step: aap portal par login karke Pending Actions dekhte hain, wahan koi demand nahi milti.
- Natija: ₹47,500 bach gaye, aur aapne call ka number 1930 aur cybercrime.gov.in par report kar diya.
Ye ek illustrative example hai. Asli demand ho to bhi pehle portal par sahi section, calculation aur interest check karna chahiye.
Paise Chale Gaye Ya Link Par Click Ho Gaya? Turant Ye Karein
- Cybercrime helpline 1930 par turant call karein.
- cybercrime.gov.in par complaint darj karein, saath mein screenshot aur transaction ID dein.
- Apne bank ko call karke card, UPI aur net banking block ya freeze karwayein.
- Email, bank aur e-filing portal ke passwords badlein.
- Agar APK ya app install ho gayi hai to usse hata dein aur phone ko security check ke liye dikhayein.
Common Mistakes
- Ghabrahat mein SMS ya email ke link par click kar dena.
- Caller ke kehne par OTP ya screen-sharing app share kar dena.
- Logo wale PDF ko dekh kar use asli maan lena. Logo copy karna bahut aasaan hai.
- Asli notice ko bhi fake samajh kar ignore kar dena. Asli notice ka reply due date tak dena zaroori hai.
- Fraud ke baad report karne mein der karna.

Frequently Asked Questions
Asli income tax notice ki pehchaan kya hai?
Asli notice mein Document Identification Number (DIN) hota hai, aur wo aapke e-filing portal ke Pending Actions ya e-Proceedings section mein bhi dikhta hai. Email official @incometax.gov.in domain se aata hai. Asli notice kabhi aapse OTP, password, CVV ya kisi personal UPI ID par paise bhejne ko nahi kehta.
GST notice asli hai ya nahi, kaise check karein?
Notice par diya DIN CBIC ke DIN verification page par daal kar check karein. Saath hi gst.gov.in par apne login se notices wale section (View Notices and Orders) mein dekhein ki wahi notice wahan hai ya nahi. CBIC ne January 2025 mein fake GST summons ke baare mein public warning bhi jaari ki thi.
Agar maine fake link par click kar diya ya paise bhej diye to kya karein?
Turant cybercrime helpline 1930 par call karein aur cybercrime.gov.in par complaint darj karein. Apne bank ko bata kar card ya account block karwayein, passwords badlein, aur screenshots, SMS aur transaction ID sambhaal kar rakhein. Jitni jaldi report hogi, paise rokne ka mauka utna behtar hota hai.
Kya income tax department phone ya video call par arrest kar sakta hai?
Nahi. Koi bhi sarkari agency video call ya phone par kisi ko arrest nahi karti, aur na hi paise transfer karne ko kehti hai. Ise aksar 'digital arrest' scam kaha jaata hai. Aise call par turant phone kaat kar 1930 par report karein.
Mujhe asli notice mila hai, ab kya karna chahiye?
Ghabrayein nahi, aur ignore bhi mat karein. Notice mein likhi due date dekhein, portal par login karke response section kholein, aur apne documents ke saath reply taiyar karein. Section ya notice ka type samajhne mein dikkat ho to apne CA se turant baat karein.
Refund ka SMS aaya hai jisme link hai, kya wo asli ho sakta hai?
Refund ki asli status sirf incometax.gov.in par apne login se dekhi jaati hai. SMS ya email ke link par bank details bharne ki zaroorat nahi hoti. Link wale refund message ko fraud maan kar usse door rahein.
Notice mila hai aur samajh nahi aa raha ki asli hai ya nahi? Reply dene ya paise bhejne se pehle humse baat kar lein. Hamari tax consultation team notice ko dekh kar batati hai ki aage kya karna sahi rahega.
