About this stamp
The Intelligence Bureau
India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 23 November 2013 for 125 years of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), India’s internal security and counter-intelligence agency under the Ministry of Home Affairs. It traces its origin to the Central Special Branch set up by the British on 23 December 1887, and is often called the oldest intelligence organisation in the world. Until 1968, when the Research and Analysis Wing was formed, it handled foreign intelligence as well.
India Post has no brochure for this issue online, so this text draws on Wikipedia.
