Discrepancies have been identified during the review of your company's tax records. That sentence is almost all there is to the fourth draft of a forged Income Tax Department notice this archive has followed since August. Every section number, office, officer's name and amount that the earlier drafts quoted is gone; the 72-hour clock and the link remain. The link asks for a ZIP archive named like a PDF, on a name handed out under eu.cc, and when the recipient detonated it in a secured sandbox, the server sent back a page instead: Access Denied. Hosting/VPN IP detected. Only real users are allowed.

Intimation under Section 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, cross-verified with AIS, TIS, and SFT, with a total corporate demand of ₹ 2,73,250 payable in fifteen days. The penalty-notice template's third draft — sharing its reply-to with the 7 September version — now dressed as a CPC Bengaluru intimation, with a fabricated DIN, a demand table that cites a Section 234F fee at a ceiling that was cut in half four years ago, and a ZIP to download.
