The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has laid down a defined procedure for getting vigilance clearance before employing a retired official on a contractual or consultancy basis.
Procedure
Before offering employment the vigilance clearance from the employer organisation, from which the officer has retired, should be obtained.
In case a retired officer served in more than one organisation, clearance has to be obtained from all of them where the person was posted in the 10 years prior to retirement.
A communication seeking clearance should also be sent to the CVC.
If the employee is found involved in any vigilance-related matter or not cleared from the vigilance point of view, the erstwhile employer organisation would be responsible for all consequential actions.
