A message in the name of the State Bank of India is being circulated very fast. It is being said that your SBI Account is expiring, so update the PAN card. A link has been shared at the end of the message, with the help of which it has been asked to update the PAN card.
Stay away from this type of message
The team of PIB Fact Check verified the veracity of this message and found it to be fake. No such message is being sent by the State Bank of India. If you also get such a message, then you need to be careful, because fraudsters are targeting you.
Bank does not ask for banking details through SMS
In a tweet from the official handle of PIB Fact Check, it has been clearly stated that SBI never sends messages or emails asking for the personal and banking details of customers. If you are being asked for banking details through an email or message, then it is a way of fraud. Such messages or emails are not to be entertained. Especially, don't click on any links at all.
First, check by visiting the income tax website
As far as Pan Card updation is concerned, it is necessary to link Aadhaar with a PAN card on 31st March.
