The decision in this regard has been taken and will be implemented by early next year

PTI | October 3, 2011



For the first time, the CVC has decided to give vigilance clearance to government officials for postings through an online mechanism, a move aimed at expediting the process.

Officials said they were also working to reduce time limit from present about three months to less than 60 days.

"We are working on a system which will give vigilance clearance on real time basis. A consultation with all stakeholders including Chief Vigilance Officers of different government organisations including public sector units, banks and corporations is going on," a senior Central Vigilance Commission official said.

"A decision in this regard has been taken and it is proposed to be implemented by early next year. We have already prepared a technical feasibility plan for the system and discussions are regularly being held with all concerned officials. We want to do away with file systems and hectic paper work involved there in," the official said.

The anti-corruption watchdog on an average deals with over 3,000 cases pertaining to vigilance clearance for government officials. Usually, it takes three-four months to take a decision on these requests.

"In addition, the online system will help us reducing the quantum of work. The Commission is also stressing for leveraging of information technology-enabled services for all its operations. We plan to computerise much more in the time to come," he said.

About 3,322 cases pertaining to vigilance clearance were processed between January and December last year by the CVC.

"We plan to put all details including the date of receiving the reference and its status for vigilance clearance on the proposed system to ensure greater transparency. We intend to put in place this system by early January," he added.
