Beware of fake IT refund emails—Report immediately!
Heads up—there's a wave of scam emails pretending to be from the Income Tax Department, promising refunds up to ₹60,000.
These messages talk about fake "manual verification" under made-up RBI or PMLA rules and try to get you to click shady links that steal your info.
How to spot a scam email
These emails can look legit, with official logos and phrases like "assessment year 2024-25," but the IT department says they never ask for personal info or passwords by email.
If something feels off, double-check the sender's address, don't click on random links, and if you spot a suspicious email, report it to phishing@incometax.gov.in right away.
If you did click by mistake, change your passwords ASAP and let your bank know—better safe than sorry!
