CBIC cautions against fraudsters issuing fake and fraudulent Summons for GST violations


Taxpayers can verify online any communication from DGGI or any office of CGST by using the ‘VERIFY CBIC-DIN’ window on the CBIC’s website https://esanchar.cbic.gov.in/DIN/DINSearch  

In case of suspicion of bogus summons, taxpayers may immediately report to DGGI / CGST formations

By PIB Delhi

It has been recently observed that some individuals with fraudulent intent are creating and sending fake summons to the taxpayers who may or may not be under investigation by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI), Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).

The fake summons resembles very closely with the original due to use of Department’s logo and Document Identification Number (DIN). However, these DIN numbers are fake and are used by the fraudsters to make the document look and feel genuine.

It is once again clarified that taxpayers can easily verify the genuineness of any communication (including Summons) issued by any officer of CBIC by using the ‘VERIFY CBIC-DIN’ window on the CBIC’s website https://esanchar.cbic.gov.in/DIN/DINSearch.

On verifying the DIN, if any individual or taxpayer finds that the Summon/letter/Notice is fake, it may immediately be reported to the office concerned. This will enable the competent DGGI / CGST formation to take law enforcement action against the fraudsters for using fake Summons/letter/Notice to dupe the public.

CBIC has issued Circular No. 122/41/2019-GST dated 05th November 2019 regarding generation and quoting of DIN on communications sent by all CBIC officers.
