CVC advised action against 15000 officers in last 3 years


NEW DELHI, NOV 24, 2011: THE number of cases in which the Central Vigilance
Commission (CVC) had advised the Departments to take action during the last
three years is as under:-

Year
No. of cases
2008 4238
2009 5317
2010 5522
The Central Vigilance Commission has noted with satisfaction that in a majority
of cases, the authorities concerned have accepted the Commission's advice and
acted in accordance with them. Since the process of finalisation of
disciplinary/vigilance cases requires multiple consultations with various
authorities, the data on acceptance of advice is not maintained centrally by the
Central Vigilance Commission. However, the Central Vigilance Commission
maintains data of non-acceptance of its advice and reports such non-acceptance
in its Annual Report. The number of cases in which the Commission's advice has
not been accepted during the last three years is as follows:

Year
No. of cases
2008 20
2009 29
2010 16
Under existing instructions of the Government, all cases relating to Gazetted
officers for whom the appointing authority is the President of India, wherein
the Ministries/Departments intend to differ from/not accept any recommendation
of the Central Vigilance Commission, are required to be referred to the
Department of Personnel and Training for a final decision. Further, a perusal of
the figures given above would show that the number of cases wherein there has
been deviation from the advice of the Central Vigilance Commission is
negligible.

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of
Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Mr V.Narayanasamy in written reply to
a question in the Lok Sabha yesterday.
