Answer given by the minister


Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office. (SHRI V. NARAYANASAMY)

(a): Yes, Madam. Vigilance Clearance from CVC is obtained in case of persons working in Government/Public Sector and from Police authorities in case of Private individuals prior to their appointment as Functional Directors (including CMDs) of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

(b): The number of appointments of Functional Directors including CMDs made in the last three years is as under:

2009-10: 92	2010-11: 96	2011-12: 142

In such cases of appointments, CVC clearance/Police Verification is invariably done depending on whether the candidate is being appointed from within Government/PSU or from private sources.

(c): As CVC clearance is invariably obtained before the appointment is made, the question of receiving CVC clearance after date of joining of selected officials does not arise.
