KATHMANDU: India will post customs intelligence officers in four countries including Nepal to check trade-related frauds and black money transactions, the Press Trust of India reported today.

India's Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has decided to post officers at Indian missions in New York (US), Singapore and Brussels (Belgium), and Consulate General of India in Birgunj (Nepal).

The Customs Overseas Intelligence Network (COIN) posts, however, are yet to be filled. The DRI has sought nominations from eligible officers of the Indian Revenue Service (Customs and Central Excise), according to the PTI.

The selection would have to get a final approval from India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with the official correspondence to the host countries before the COIN officers are deputed to the Indian missions.
