Answer
Only one
I. Directorate of Enforcement — It enforces the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018, but it is under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, not MHA. Verdict: Incorrect.
II. Directorate of Revenue Intelligence — DRI does enforce the Customs Act, 1962 and is under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance. Verdict: Correct.
III. Directorate General of Systems and Data Management — The description about big data analytics to assist tax officers and nab tax evaders is associated with the Directorate General of Analytics and Risk Management (DGARM), not DG Systems and Data Management. Hence this row is mismatched. Verdict: Incorrect.
Therefore, only one row is correctly matched.
