(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.
