This message is sent by fraudsters to customers that you should complete KYC or PAN update today itself to save your account from becoming inactive. For this, a link is also sent to them.
After this, after clicking on this link, customers are asked for their personal information. After this, within a few minutes, these criminals steal lakhs of rupees from the customers’ accounts. If you get any such message, pay close attention to it and complete the KYC process by visiting the branch.
