MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND

(a) to (d): Yes Madam. The Central Vigilance Commission has issued
instructions, for effecting rotational transfers of officials posted in
each organization, vide letters dated 15.04.1999, 02.11.2001,
01.05.2008, 04.01.2012 and 11.09.2013. As per these instructions, all
Ministries/ Departments/ Organizations and CVOs are to identify
sensitive posts and staff working in these posts and also ensure that
they are rotated after every two/ three years to avoid developing vested
interest. As identification of sensitive posts and effecting rotational
transfers is a continuous process and CVOs have been made responsible
for the same, all Ministries/ Departments/ Organizations are required to
comply with the above instructions.
