THE Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) informs all the Chief Vigilance Officers (CVO) that henceforth, the Commission would be seeking confirmation from the complainant for owning/disowning the complaint, as the case may be. Therefore, any further confirmation would not be required to be sought by the CVOs from the complainant in respect of the complaints sent to CVOs for inquiry and report by the Commission. However, clarifications /any additional information, if required, could be obtained from the complainant (s) as part of inquiry in the matter undertaken by the CVOs.
In case of complaints directly received by the CVOs and Ministries, if the complaint contains specific and verifiable allegations of corruption/vigilance angle and it is proposed to take cognizance of such complaints, the complaint will be first sent to be complainant for owning/disowning, as the case may be.If no response is received from the complainant within 15 days, a reminder has to be sent and if after 15 days of sending the reminder, nothing is heard, the complaint may be filed as pseudonymous by the CVO of the Ministry/Department/Organisation.
