Adherence to time limits for investigation of complaints – CVC Instructions
CHIEF Vigilance Officers of Organisations/Departments are required to furnish investigation reports on complaints referred by the Commission for investigation and report within three months of the date of receipt of such references.
The Commission observes that Organisations/ Departments do not adhere to the time limits prescribed and thee is undue delay in submission of investigation reports. While emphasising the need for strict adherence to the prescribed time limits for furnishing reports, in case, if it is not possible for completing investigations within the specified periods, the Chief Vigilance Officer of the Organisations/Departments concerned should personally look into the matter and send an interim reply/report to the Commission seeking extension of time limit, indicating the progress of investigation and reasons for delay without fail in each complaint case.
