IT DEPT ALERTS TAXPAYERS AGAINST SHARING FINANCIAL DETAILS ON NET

The IT department has alerted taxpayers against sharing personal financial information like PAN card number and credit card details on the internet in the wake of a spurt in fake e-mails being sent to people.

The Income Tax Department does not send e-mails regarding refunds and does not seek details regarding credit cards. Taxpayers should not respond to such e-mails.
