DISPOSAL OF PENDING COMPLAINTS (a) Initiative It is necessary to ensure that complaints are not kept pending and that they reach a logical conclusion within the prescribed timelines. All organizations may ensure that all complaints received on or before 30.06.2025 are disposed of during the campaign period. (b) Reporting format Name of the Organization: Table 1 Sl.

DISPOSAL OF PENDING CASES a) Initiative Delay in bringing vigilance cases to a logical conclusion is against the principles of natural justice and also defeats the very purpose of initiating disciplinary action. The Commission has also prescribed model timelines for investigation, implementation of First Stage Advice (FSA)/ Second Stage Advice (SSA) and conclusion of disciplinary inquiries. Further, implementing systemic improvements that address identified gaps will significantly enhance the efficacy in systems and processes. Advices related to systemic improvement which are pending for implementation should also be reviewed and decision taken for implementation in a time-bound manner. Also, the timely submission of reply to the outstanding CTE paras is essential for taking corrective actions during execution of contract, enabling the organization for effecting immediate recovery from contractors/suppliers, ensuring accountability of officials for omission and commission of actions, etc. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the replies are furnished on observations of the CTEO in a time-bound manner. In this regard, all organizations may ensure: (i) Timely implementation of FSA and SSA (ii) Timely completion of departmental inquiries (DI) by the Inquiry Officer (IO)/ Inquiry Authority (IA) (iii) Implementation of pending Systemic Improvements (iv) Compliance on outstanding CTE Paras b) Reporting format Name of the Organization: Table 2 Sl No Particulars Pending as on 18.08.2025 (Nos.)

ASSET MANAGEMENT (a) Initiative A number of organizations possess a large number of fixed assets like land/ properties.

During the campaign period, organizations may review the following: (i) whether documents in respect of the properties owned by the organizations have been properly documented, verified and digitized as per extant rules (ii) in case of property under lease, whether valid lease agreements are available and periodically reviewed (iii) whether encroachments have been identified and future plan of action drawn for such properties. In respect of movable assets, many offices have a number of old, unused or condemned assets which affect the cleanliness of the working environment. During the campaign period, organizations may review the following: (i) whether inventory of assets (plant and machinery, office equipments, vehicles, sundry items etc) is being maintained as per extant rules (ii) whether identification of obsolete items/ assets has been done and their disposal carried out as per extant rules.
