Complaint Handling Policy

The Central Vigilance Commission is mandated under the CVC Act, 2003, to enquire or cause an enquiry into complaints against public servants wherein allegations of corruption are involved.

The Commission can cause an enquiry through the Chief Vigilance Officer of the organisation concerned or CBI or any other anti-corruption investigating agency under the Government of India.

Lodging of Complaints

Complaints can be lodged by addressing the letter/e-mail directly to the CVC, giving the specific facts of the matter relating to corruption. The complaints can also be lodged directly on CVC’s web-site.

Action taken on Complaints

1. Only those complaints which are against officials and organizations within the jurisdiction of the Commission and contain allegations of corruption will be got investigated by the Commission through CBI or CVO of the organisation concerned.

The Commission may also get a complaint inquired through its own officer under clause (d) of sub section (1) of Section (8) of CVC Act, 2003.

2. The CVO has to submit his report on the complaints sent by the Commission for investigation, within three months. Based on the investigation report the Commission renders advice after an independent application of mind.

Subsequent disciplinary action by the concerned Disciplinary authority takes around six months. Imposition of penalty takes a further period of three to six months.

3. Once the Commission directs the CBI/CVO to investigate and report on a complaint, a complaint number would be provided to the complainant. The complainant can use this complaint number to see the status of action on the complaint by clicking on the ‘Complaint Status’ displayed on the Commission’s website.

4. Once a complaint is registered in the Commission, further correspondence in the matter will not be entertained. However, Commission will ensure that the complaints are investigated and action taken to its logical conclusion.

5. As regard complaints against tenders, it is clarified that while the Commission would get the matter investigated, however, it would not interfere in the tendering process as such. The intention is not to stop the work in the orgnaisation.

Lodging Complaint under PIDPIR

1. Complaint under “Public Interest Disclosure and Protection of Informer” Resolution can be made only by post. The envelope should be superscribed “PIDPI” or “Whistle Blower”. The complainant should refrain from giving his name on the body of the letter.
