NEW DELHI : The income tax department has asked taxpayers to be careful with their income tax e-filing account and report account misuse by any unauthorised person. "If you think your e-Filing account may have been compromised or accessed in an unauthorized manner, then you may be a victim of cybercrime.
Please report the incident to the concerned police or cyber-cell authorities as a first step," the I-T department said in an advisory.
The taxman has asked people to file an online criminal complaint or FIR by visiting https://cybercrime.gov.in/, an initiative of Government of India to facilitate complainants to report cybercrime complaints online.
