Beware: Fake 'e-challan' SMS can empty your bank account with one click

• Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) warns against new phishing frauds using fake "e-challan" SMS messages.
• Victims receive SMS with a link, urging immediate payment to avoid penalties, redirecting to a fake M-Parivahan portal.
• Fraudulent websites prompt users for personal and banking details, which cybercriminals then use to siphon off money.
• I4C advises verifying challans on official government platforms and never clicking suspicious links or sharing OTPs.
• Report incidents to national cybercrime helpline 1930 or the cybercrime reporting portal to prevent financial loss.
