Sub: Procedure for dealing with DAR cases against Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ staff arising out of vigilance investigation

Ref: Board’s letter No.2006/V-1/Meet/6/1 dated 19.7.2006 & letter No.2010/V-1/Meet/5/1 dated 11.08.2011

It has come to the notice of Railway Board that there is inordinate delay in finalization of DAR cases of Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ staff because instructions issued vide letter of even no. dated 19.07.2006 and letter No.2010/V-I/Meet/5/I dated 11.08.2011 are not being followed strictly. The subject also came up for discussion during the meeting held by Adviser (Vigilance) with the Federation (AIRF & NFIR) on 21.06.2012 in connection with DC/JCM Item No.1/2011. During the meeting, it was informed that even when penalty proposed by DA (i.e. Minor/Major) is same as recommended by Vigilance, cases are being referred to Vigilance for prior consultation. It was also informed that when an appellate authority decides to reduce the penalty within the ambit of type of parameters (Major or Minor), Vigilance Wing is being consulted in certain Railways.

In this regard, it is once again reiterated that the existing instructions for dealing with Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ staff arising out of vigilance investigations issued vide letters dated 19.07.2006 and 11.08.2011 (copies enclosed) be followed strictly. Further, Advance Correction Slip Nos. RBV No.09/2010, RBV No.10.2011 and RV No.11/2010 issued to Board’s letter dated 19.7.2006 (RBV No.13/2006) are also enclosed for strict compliance.
