Information
has been received from several quarters that emails are being received by
taxpayers claiming to be sent by the Income Tax Department asking the taxpayers
to download file containing payable tax details. Such phishing mails are
being sent from email addresses like
"incometaxindia.gov.india@gmail.com".
It
is clarified that the Income Tax Department does not send any communication
from private email addresses such as Gmail, yahoo etc. Taxpayers are
cautioned that they should not respond to such phishing mails and avoid
downloading any attachment, which may contain virus or malicious software.
Taxpayers are advised to visit “Report Phishing” button on National Website of Income Tax Department i.e. www.incometaxindia.gov.in in case they receive such phishing mails.
