Compliance sms from itd

I received SMS saying:

"You (XXXXXXX) have not filed ITR for AY 2017-18. Pl click on 'Compliance Portal' link at e-fling portal (My Account) to view further information- ITD Compliance"

I am a student (19 yrs), my income is less than 2.5L. Only income is from fixed deposits.

My parents gave me the money to invest in fixed deposits. I had also filled Form 15G for non-deduction of TDS. The transactions also show up in my 26AS.

I am not obligated to file ITR. So what is the need for compliance?

Is this message genuine?

Do I need to register on e-filing portal and start the compliance procedure?

What happens if I do not?
