The advisory, issued on Monday, said the offence was punishable under provisions of the Income Tax Act.&nbsp

News reports said Thursday that the advisory warned taxpayers against using the services of “unscrupulous intermediaries”. The reports added that alarm bells had gone off in Bengaluru after&nbspincorrect claims were made in tax returns filed through a man posing as a chartered accountant

The reports added that the department also threatened to refer the cases to other enforcement agencies for further action.&nbsp
