    • The agency is empowered to deal with terror related crimes across states without special permission from the states.
    • The Agency came into existence with the enactment of the National Investigation Agency Act 2008 by the Parliament of India on 31 December 2008.
    • The founding Director-General of NIA was Radha Vinod Raju, and he served till 31 January 2010.
    • The agency aims to match the best international standards in counter terrorism and other national security related investigations at the national level by developing into a highly trained, partnership oriented workforce.
    • Apart from covering offences that are challenges to the sovereignty and integrity of the country, it also probes counterfeit currency, human trafficking, organized crime, violations of atomic energy act etc.
    Functions of NIA
    • To curb various aspects of terrorist financing, a Terror Funding and Fake Currency Cell (TFFC) has been created in the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
