The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) will soon issue bio-metric cards to custom house agents to check fraud and misuse of services.

Speaking to reporters in Mumbai yesterday, CBEC chairman SK Goel said Bio-metric smart cards will be issued first in Mumbai in all the three Customs zones.

He gave information that a fraudulent person will not be able to file documents anywhere in the city as his fingerprints would not match and his photo would be flashed across all zones.
