The smuggling of contraband in India is an age-old phenomenon. In early seventies, these activities became so rampant that it started posing a serious threat to the Indian economy. The penal provisions of the Customs Act and the Foreign Exchange Regulations Act were not deterrent enough to prevent the smugglers and foreign exchange violators from indulging in such offences.
Vision
Our Vision is to provide an efficient mechanism for collection of financial profile of the persons affected as envisaged under SAFEMA, from the source agencies, Income Tax department and other Central and State Government organizations and implementation of provisions related to forfeiture of properties under SAFEM(FOP) Act and NDPS Act.
Mission
Our Mission is to achieve excellence in the implementation of provisions of SAFEM (FOP) and NDPS Acts and procedures.
