It functions under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance. The Internal Security Division of the MHA deals with matters like counter-terrorism and left-wing extremism.
- Row 2 (Correct): The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) is the premier anti-smuggling agency of India. It is responsible for enforcing the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962, and functions under the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance.

Its primary mandate includes the implementation of automation, big data analytics, and "Project ADVAIT" to assist tax officers in identifying evasion patterns and improving policy through data-driven insights.
In summary, all three organizations mentioned actually fall under the Department of Revenue within the Ministry of Finance, making the first row's "Ministry of Home Affairs" classification incorrect.
