Income Tax Department Cautions Public Against Fake Job Offers

The income tax (I-T) department on Tuesday cautioned general public against falling prey to fraud job offers, saying that aspirants should only consider advertisements appearing on either its official website or that of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC).

"Income Tax Department cautions the public not to fall prey to fraudulent persons misleading job-aspirants by issuing fake appointment letters for joining the Department," the I-T department tweeted.

In a public notice, the apex direct tax body said it has come to its notice that some fake persons are misleading candidates by issuing fake appointment letters for joining the I-T department.

It said direct recruitment in all Group B and C posts are conducted by the SSC and notification or results are made available on the SSC website.

Thereafter, regional allocation of the candidate is done and the list is uploaded on the I-T department portal.
