Directorate of Enforcement | Enforcement of the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018 | Internal Security Division-I, Ministry of Home Affairs II. Directorate of Revenue Intelligence | Enforces the Provisions of the Customs Act, 1962 | Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance III.

A
Only one
Correct answer
B
Only two
C
All the three
D
None

Explanation

Only Row II is correctly matched. Row I is wrong in its last column: the Directorate of Enforcement does enforce the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018 (as well as FEMA and the PMLA), but it works under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, not the Ministry of Home Affairs. Row II is correct: the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, the chief anti-smuggling agency, enforces the Customs Act, 1962 and works under the Department of Revenue through the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs. Row III is wrong: the role it describes, big-data analytics to help tax officers make better policy and catch evaders, is the one given to the Directorate General of Analytics and Risk Management when it was set up under the CBIC; the Directorate General of Systems and Data Management is the Board's IT wing.
