Answer in brief
Fake tax notices and refund messages are common. We check the document number (DIN) on the Income Tax portal, find the notice in your e-Proceedings, confirm which office and which year it is for, and tell you if it is real and what the deadline is. We never ask you to click a link from the message.
Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
