Outright lying during the interview process is almost certainly grounds for a no-hire or dismissal if you get the job and they find out later. It's fine to refuse to give that information. It's fine to say "This is the salary I want". It's not okay to falsely represent your salary any more than it would be okay to falsely represent your job title, your education, your certifications, etc.
