Taxpayers can verify the genuineness of any communication (including summons) from the department by using the 'VERIFY CBIC-DIN' window on the CBIC’s website or the DIN Utility Search on the online portal of Directorate of Data Management (DDM), CBIC.
The CBIC on Saturday cautioned against fraudsters issuing fake GST summons and asked taxpayers to check the veracity of any communication received from GST authorities. In a statement, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) said the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has recently noticed that some individuals with fraudulent intent are creating and sending fake summons to taxpayers who may or may not be under investigation by the DGGI.
