Union Ministries and Investigative Agencies
Question
With reference to the organisations under the Government of India, consider the following details:
In how many of the above rows are the given details correctly matched ?
Options
1
2
3
None
Explanation
The correct answer is (a), meaning only row 3 is correctly matched. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) operates under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions. Row 1 is incorrectly matched because the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB) is an agency under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, not the Ministry of Home Affairs. Row 2 is incorrectly matched because the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) is a statutory corporate fraud unit under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), rather than the Ministry of Finance.
