Govt flags fake GST notices, advises taxpayers to verify DIN

Government's Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs flagged concerns over fraudsters sending fake GST notices. They use the CGST logo and fake Document Identification Number (DIN), CBIC said in a reply to an X user who complained about receiving a call from a purported GST officer. CBIC advised taxpayers to verify DIN mentioned in every communication on its portal.
