DGGI warns trend of Fake GST Summons in name of CGST

The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has brought to light a concerning trend involving fraudulent individuals issuing fake summons to taxpayers, whether or not they are under investigation by the DGGI.

These fake summons, despite bearing a Document Identification Number (DIN), are not authorized by the DGGI for the entities whose names are mentioned therein.

In response, the DGGI has taken decisive measures, including alerting and filing complaints with the police against individuals who created and distributed these bogus summons.

Individual taxpayers who get suspicious or potentially fraudulent summons from DGGI formations must immediately report them to the relevant jurisdictional DGGI or CGST office for verification and appropriate action.

This proactive approach will ensure that appropriate measures can be taken against the perpetrators of these fraudulent activities, safeguarding the integrity of the taxation system.
