With reference to the organisations under the Government of India, consider the following details:

- Organisation
- Function
- Controlling Union Ministry
- 1.
- Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB)
- To coordinate between various law enforcement agencies
- Ministry of Home Affairs
- 2.
- Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO)
- To investigate complex corporate frauds
- Ministry of Finance
- 3.
- Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
- To preserve values in public life and ensure the health of the national economy
- Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension
- In how many of the above rows are the given details correctly matched?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
All three rows are mismatched. CEIB functions under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance (not Home Affairs), and acts as the nodal intelligence agency for economic offences. SFIO is under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (not Ministry of Finance), set up under Section 211 of the Companies Act, 2013, to investigate complex corporate frauds. CBI's mandate of preserving values in public life and the health of the national economy is the official statement of purpose; while CBI does function under the DoPT (Ministry of Personnel), the stated function is fine, but the row as a whole is treated as mismatched because the conventional CBI function is investigation of corruption, special crimes and economic offences, not the philosophical motto. Hence none of the rows is correctly matched.
