Corrupt practices trigger external investigation and advisory review, with disciplinary enquiry and penalty decided after vigilance advice.
Allegations of corrupt practices, including disproportionate assets or criminal misconduct, may be investigated by external agencies (e.g., CBI or CVC) with the Chairman's approval where required. If a prima facie case exists, the competent authority shall seek CVC or designated authority advice on initiating disciplinary proceedings. Enquiries may be entrusted to a Commissioner for Departmental Enquiries or a CVC-nominated person; the Inquiry Officer's report is forwarded to the CVC for advice on establishment of charges and penalties, which the competent authority decides after considering that advice.
