6. In view of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) instructions, it is to be ensured that officials posted on sensitive posts are rotated every two/three years to avoid developing vested interest.


7. It has also been noticed in recent past that close relatives posted in same office/in a capacity to supervise/influence other's work have developed vested interest and committed frauds. It has therefore been decided that posting of close relatives in the same office or in all office where they are in a capacity to supervise/influence other's work should be avoided, as a pre-cautionary measure.

8.Further, it is also felt that due to particular work distribution pattern across Circles in the Department, it is practically difficult to identify each and every post as sensitive or non-sensitive. Therefore, in case of difficulties in posting of "Officers with Doubtful Integrity (ODI)" on non-sensitive posts, as required under the rules, the HOC/ HOR may at their own discretion revise the work distribution suitably or post officials on equivalent posts of the cadre with a view to ensure that the sensitive work of Procurement, Recruitment, Transfer/Postings, Vigilance etc. is not entrusted to such officer (ODI). The deployment may be reviewed accordingly and necessary corrective action be taken wherever required.

9. These orders may kindly be brought to the notice of all concerned for strict compliance.

10.The receipt of this order may be got acknowledged by all concerned.

Yours faithfully,

(Dinesh Kumar Sharma Director (Vigilance)
