Retired babus taking up private sector jobs soon after retirement is serious misconduct: CVC

NE NEWS SERVICE

NEW DELHI, JUNE 3

The Central Vigilance Commission on Thursday said retired officials accepting jobs in private sector organisations without the mandatory cooling off period constitutes “serious misconduct”.

In an order, it also said that all government organisations should mandatorily take vigilance clearance before offering post–retirement jobs to babus.

“It has been observed that on some occasions, immediately after their retirement from government organisations, retired officials are taking up full-time job/contractual assignments in private sector organisations,” the CVC said in the order issued to secretaries of all central government departments and chiefs of public sector banks among others.

Quite often, cooling off period, as prescribed under the rules of organisations concerned, is not observed before taking up such offers, it said.

“Post-retirement acceptance of offer by retired government officials without observing cooling off period, constitutes a serious misconduct on their part,” the probity watchdog said.

All government organisations may, therefore, formulate appropriate rules and guidelines for its employees to ensure that post-retirement, the cooling off period is mandatorily observed by them before accepting any offer from private sector entities, the order said.

The rules and guidelines should incorporate the procedure for seeking or obtaining permission before accepting offer from private sector entities during the cooling off period if not in existence, it said.

The applicable service or conduct rules should also be revised and modified to ensure that, if required, appropriate action can also be initiated in case of violation of such rules by retired employees, the commission said.

In the order, the CVC has outlined procedure for government organisations for obtaining vigilance clearance for retired-babus before employing them.

“There is no defined procedure for seeking vigilance inputs before engaging retired government officials from the organisations where such retired officials were employed on full time basis, prior to their retirement,” it said.

The commission has observed that the absence of a uniform defined procedure for obtaining vigilance clearance, before engaging retired officials by government organisations, sometimes leads to a situation where officials with tainted past or having cases pending against them are engaged by the government organisations, the order said.

“Such a situation not only leads to unnecessary complaints/allegations of favouritism, but is also against the tenets of fairness and probity which is the basic principle governing the functioning of government organisations,” it said.

“In respect of retired officers belonging to all India services, Group A officers of central government or their equivalent in other organisations owned or controlled by central government, before offering employment to them on contractual/consultancy basis, vigilance clearance from the employer organisation, from which the government officer had retired, should be necessarily obtained,” the CVC said.

In case a retired officer served in more than one organisation, the vigilance clearance should be obtained from all organisations where the retired officer had served during a period of 10 years prior to his retirement, it said mentioning the procedure.

The CVC said in case, no reply is received from the erstwhile employer(s) within 15 days of sending communication by speed post to them, a reminder may be sent to them for expediting vigilance clearance.

However, in case no reply is received from the erstwhile employer within 21 days of sending initial communication to them, it may be considered as ”deemed vigilance clearance for the person concerned”, the commission said.

“Later on, if it is found that the ex-employee was involved in any vigilance related matter or was not clear from vigilance point of view, the erstwhile employer organisation would be responsible for all consequential actions,” it said.

“The retired government officer is to be considered for post retirement engagement only on receipt of vigilance clearance/vigilance inputs,” the CVC said.

The procedure for engaging retired government officers should be transparent with equal opportunity to all those who are willing to offer their services, it said.

The post to be filled up on contractual or consultancy basis should at least be advertised on the website of the organisation concerned at appropriate place and should be available in the public domain, the commission’s order said.
