No Sensitive decisions by Officers seeking VRS - CBDT

IT has come to the notice of the CBDT that the officers, even after giving notice for VRS, continue to take decisions of sensitive nature. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has taken a serious view of this practice.

It is, therefore, decided by the Board that an officer who has submitted, his/her application for voluntary retirement from service (VRS) should take decisions of sensitive nature, if any, with the approval of next higher authority.

But shouldn't this apply to even officers who retire on superannuation

CBDT Office Order No. C-29016/43/2013 -Ad.VI(A); Dated: September 6, 2013
