Posting & Tenure of Vigilance / Investigating / Enquiry Inspectors on Zonal Railways

October 25, 2022, 5:22 PM

1. Posting of officials in the Vigilance Organisation of the Zonal Railways should be made in consultation with the CVO concerned.
2. These posts have been kept as tenure posts. The normal period of tenure should be 4 years which could be extended upto 6 years in individual cases meriting such a consideration by the GM of the concerned Railway/ Production Unit etc. based on the recommendation of the concerned CVO.

3. The four year term (extendable to six years) should be the overall period which a railway servant or one taken on deputation from other department or State Government can spend in the Vigilance Organisation. As an example, if a railway servant had worked as a Vigilance Inspectors in a Zonal Railway and thereafter also in the Vigilance Directorate of the Railway Board for a total period of four years in all, he should not be continued further in the Vigilance Organisation except in individual cases of special merit and that too upto a maximum of six years. However, the tenure for Enquiry Inspector will be independent of the period spent by them earlier in the Vigilance Organisation in other capacities such as Investigating Inspectors / Vigilance Inspectors, etc.

4. Railways/PUs etc. in exceptional cases may recommend to the Board extension of tenure beyond six years of any individual cases of Vigilance Inspectors etc. provided any one of the following criteria is fulfilled:

(a) the person is due to retire within a period of one year or so and it may not be convenient for him to rehabilitate himself during this period in his parent department;
(b) no suitable person could be selected inspite of positive efforts made by the Railway and it is intended to extend his tenure by a short period to cover the process of selection, etc. (actual efforts of the railway already made be listed)
(c) due to very good cases of investigation against senior people, it is feared that the Vigilance Inspector may be victimized on rehabilitation and efforts to find an alternative position for him have so far failed. The efforts made and genuine reasons for which the fear exists, will have to be enunciated.

(d) In such cases, prior approval of the CVO of the Ministry of Railways would be required before continuing the V.I./I.I. beyond six years.

5. Rotation of officials working in sensitive posts: Posts in the Vigilance Organisation are classified as sensitive warranting the rotation of officials as per extant instructions.
