What is Vigilance Angle?

The CVC has formulated a revised definition of vigilance angle, which may be inferred from the following acts:

i) Demanding and / or accepting gratification other than legal remuneration in respect of an official act or for using his influence with any other official.

ii) Obtaining valuable things, without consideration or with inadequate consideration from a person with whom he has or is likely to have official dealing or his subordinates have official dealings or where he can exert influence.

iii) Obtaining for himself or for any other person any valuable thing or pecuniary advantage by corrupt or illegal means or by abusing his position as a public servant.

iv) Possession of assets disproportionate to his known source of income.
 
v) Cases of misappropriation, forgery or cheating or other similar criminal offences.

Apart from the above, there are certain irregularities, which if found, point towards the vigilance angle. Some of these are:

a) Official’s integrity is in doubt.

b) Gross or willful negligence

c) Recklessness in decision making

d) Blatant violations of system and procedures

e) Exercise of discretion in excess etc.
