TRANSCRIPT
Volume 5 AUGUST 2015
From the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief
Dear Readers,
Warm greetings to you all. I have joined the Corporate Vigilance group after the
superannuation of Mr. Sridhara Mugeraya, AGM(Vigilance)/CO, on 30th June, 2015.
It is always good to be vigilant both in personal life and professional life. At times,
all of us are exposed to fraudsters of all kinds promising to give extremely high
returns or work miracles. Innovative cyber frauds involving credit cards and ATMs
are becoming common. Like individuals, organizations also have to be all the more
vigilant to safeguard their interests as they are exposed to fraudsters not only from
outside but also from within.
Transparency in our activities enables us to prevent malpractices and it also
enhances the confidence level of our stakeholders. Transparency International
conducts studies and ranks organisations based on the Corruption Perception Index.
Realising the importance of transparency and probity in public procurement and
the importance of the Integrity Pact as an anti-corruption tool, BEL had organized
a two day training programme on ‘Promoting Transparency in Public Procurement
and Integrity Pact’ in association with Transparency International and KIOCL,
Bangalore. The programme was attended by a large number of participants from
BEL and other Public Sector Undertakings including Banks. We are thankful to the
BEL Management for the overwhelming support for organizing the programme.
BEL has established a solid foundation for preventive vigilance through various
manuals, Policies, systems and procedures. Support and co-operation of one and
all is required to successfully implement the Systems and Procedures so that BEL
can emerge as a role model in our country for ethical business practices.
With Best Wishes,
S. Mohanraj AGM (Vigilance) / CO & Editor-in-Chief, JAGRITI

INTEGRITY PACT
Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
1. What is an Integrity Pact (IP)?
The Integrity Pact (IP) is an anti-corruption tool to help governments, businesses and civil society intent on fighting corruption in the field of public contracting and procurement. It consists of an agreement between a government or a government department (hereafter referred to as the Principal) and all bidders for a contract. The IP sets out their rights and obligations to the effect that neither side will pay, offer, demand or accept bribes, and/or collude with competitors to obtain the contract or while carrying it out. Only those vendors/ bidders who commit themselves to such a Pact with the buyer would be considered competent to participate in the bidding process. In other words, entering into this Pact would be a preliminary qualification. 2. What are the essential ingredients of IP?
(i) Promise on the part of the Principal not to seek or accept any illegal benefit; (ii) Principal to treat all bidders with equity and reason; (iii) Promise on the part of bidders not to offer any illegal benefit to the Principal’s
employees; (iv) Bidders not to enter into any undisclosed agreement or understanding with
other bidders with respect to prices, specifications, certifications, subsidiary contracts, etc.
(v) Bidders not to pass any information provided by Principal as part of business relationship to others and not to commit any offence under PC / IPC Act;
(vi) Foreign bidders to disclose the name and address of agents and representatives in India and Indian Bidders to disclose their foreign principals or associates;
(vii) Bidders to disclose the payments to be made by them to agents / brokers or any other intermediary; and / or any transgressions with any other company that may impinge on the anti-corruption principle.
3. Who are the players of IP?
a. The Company, i.e., Principal b. The vendors, i.e., Counter-party c. The Independent External Monitor (IEM)
4. What is procurement? Procurement is the acquisition of goods and / or services at the lowest possible cost, in the right quantity and quality, at the right time, in the right place and from the right source for the direct benefit or use of corporations or individuals, generally via a contract. 5. About CVC The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) was set up by the Government of India in February 1964 as an apex vigilance institution to advise and guide Central Government agencies in the field of vigilance. It is free of control from any executive authority, monitoring all vigilance activities and advising the Central Government’s various
authorities in planning, executing, reviewing and reforming their vigilance work. Realizing the importance of IP as a vigilance tool in controlling corruption in public contracting and procurement, CVC has, through its Office Orders No. 41/12/07 dated 04.12.2007 and 43/12/07 dated 28.12.2007 and Circulars No. 18/05/08 dated 19.05.2008 and 24/08/08 dated 05.08.2008, recommended adoption of Integrity Pact to all the Secretaries to the GoI, all CMDs of PSUs and PSB, and all CVOs, and provided basic guidelines for its implementation in respect of major procurements in the Government Organizations. On May 18, 2009, it issued Standard Operating Procedure spelling out all the details. 6. Why should a company sign IP? IP helps Government and companies to reduce high cost and maintain quality control. IP adoption creates public confidence and trust in decision making process, and also a more hospitable investment climate and public support in the country. 7. Is it mandatory to adopt IP for a PSU? Adoption of IP is voluntary, but once adopted, it should cover all tenders / procurements above a specified threshold value and follow the Integrity Pact in letter and spirit. But MoD/DDP has made it mandatory for DPSUs to adopt the Integrity Pact and to implement the same in true spirit. 8. What is the duration of the IP between Principal and Bidders? The IP begins when both parties have legally signed it. It expires after 10 months of the last payment made under the contract. 9. Whose IP is to be followed? In a contract between the Principal and Bidder, the Principal’s IP is to be followed. 10. Whose threshold limit is to be followed? In case the IP is being implemented by the Principal and the Counterparty, it is the threshold limit of the Principal to be followed. 11. Is it ok to exclude tenders from nomination basis from the ambit of IP? There should be no exemption, even if it is needed (in certain cases), it should be examined on a case-to-case basis by the concerned PSU Management. 12. Is there any specific threshold limit for the PSU? The threshold value for the contracts to be covered under IP should be decided after conducting proper ABC analysis. It should be fixed so as to cover 90% of the total procurements of the organization in monetary terms. Apart from all high value contracts, any contract involving complicated or serious issues could be brought within the ambit of IP by the management. In BEL, the present threshold limit is Rs.5 crores and above. 13. Who will be the focal point for the implementation of IP? The Purchase / Procurement wing of the organization would be the focal point for the implementation of IP. The Vigilance Department would be responsible for review, enforcement, and reporting on all related vigilance issues. It has to be ensured, through
an appropriate provision in the contract, that IP is deemed as part of the contract so that the parties concerned are bound by its provisions. 14. What is an IEM? Independent External Monitor (IEM) is the watchdog for smooth functioning of the IP programme. IEM is responsible to ensure the credibility of the programme. 15. What is the role of IEM? An IEM can review independently and objectively whether and to what extent parties have complied with their obligations under the Pact. Accordingly, IEM would have access to all relevant documents, whenever required. Ideally, all IEMs of an organization should meet once every two months to take stock of the ongoing tendering processes. 16. Is there any legal obligation to follow the advice of the IEMs? The recommendations of IEMs would be in the nature of advice and hence would not be legally binding. Finally, it is the Management‘s decision whether to accept the IEM’s recommendation. 17. Is the IEM a replacement of CVO? The role of the CVO shall remain unaffected by the presence of IEM. A matter being examined by the IEM can be separately investigated by the CVO in terms of the provisions of the CVC Act or Vigilance Manual, if a complaint is received by him or directed to him by the Commission. 18. What is the pre-requisite for a PSU to implement IP?
i. Clear understanding about IP implementation process ii. Share the Code of Conduct policy iii. Commitment to implement IP should be made by the Board and be reflected in the words & deeds of the Principal iv. Principal should take steps to inform / communicate internal staff about IP’s various aspects v. Approval of IEMs by CVC and appointment by the Company vi. Presence of Principal, Vendor and IEMs at the time of signing of MoU
19. What are the benefits of IP? PSUs
(i) Enhanced competition in bidding process – most efficient, best bidder wins bid (ii) Enhanced reputation and credibility (iii) Avoid time-consuming lawsuits / blocking points after decision on supplier
company (iv) Focus of business relationships on quality and reliability of goods and services
Government
(i) Incentives to be transparent (ii) Strengthened rule of law, increased credibility and political stability (iii) Higher investment levels from domestic and foreign investors (iv) Improve country’s perception (v) Better score in Corruption Perception Index (CPI)
(vi) Effective governance mechanisms and more effective procurement. Bidding Companies
(i) Better chance of fair selection as a supplier and enhanced access to markets (ii) Protection from legal penalties (iii) Saving of costs, formerly paid as bribes, and time, in case of disputes (iv) Enhanced reputation (v) Employees and competitors behave ethically and responsibly
20. Who can give a complaint to IEM? Anybody can complain related to the procurement / bidding process to IEM. 21. Can a bidder complaint to IEM directly if he found any irregularity? Yes, any bidder can complaint to the IEM directly. 22. In case of receipt of complaints, is it necessary to keep on hold the processing
offenders? Advice of the IEMs should be followed at that time. 23 . What role do the IEMs play on Tenders / Contracts on which no complaints are received? IEMs’ role starts when any complaint is received. 24 . What is the review system of IP? According to CVC’s circular, an internal assessment of the impact of IP shall be carried out periodically by the CVOs of the organizations and reported to the CVC. Two additional reviews are envisaged for each organization in due course:
(i) Financial impact review, which could be conducted through an independent agency like auditors; (ii) Physical review, which could be done through either an NGO or any specialized institution of tested credibility in the concerned field.
25. Is IP applicable to private sector?
Yes, IP can be adopted by the private sector. Transparency International India is
currently working on its effective application.

WAKE UP THE VIGILANCE OFFICER WITHIN
There is an easy way of adopting Vigilance practices. The story of the lamb and the tiger is a good way to understand it. Moving amidst the lambs, the lone tiger behaved like a lamb, until one day another tiger made it realize the fact that it was a tiger and not a lamb. In the same way, everyone in the organisation should realize that they are vigilance officers themselves and monitor their own acts and deeds in the first place and then monitor the environment.
Let us adopt the direction set by Swami Vivekananda:
“Teach yourselves, teach every one, his (or her) real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent will come, when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.”
Let us wake up the vigilance officer within us and apply Self Imposed Vigilance (SIV) to have good governance.
The concept of Self Imposed Vigilance can be understood from a Thirukkuṛal couplet written by Tamil Poet Thiruvalluvar. He wrote:
Mudivum idaiyurum murriyangu eythum
Padupayanum partthuch cheyal. (Thirukkural Chapter 68, Verse 676)
It means, “Every act is to be performed after considering the exertion required, the obstacles to be encountered and the purpose to be achieved on its completion.”
Let us act and not wait for any Act.

IMPORTANT CIRCULARS ON INTEGRITY PACT
No.007/VGL/033
Government of India Central Vigilance Commission
*****
Satarkta Bhawan, Block-A
GPO complex, INA, New Delhi-110023
Dated the 4th December 2007
Office Order No.41/12/07
Subject: Adoption of Integrity Pact in major Government Procurement
Activities- regarding.
Ensuring transparency, equity and competitiveness in public procurement has been a major concern of the Central Vigilance Commission and various steps have been taken by it to bring this about. Leveraging technology specially wider
use of the websites for disseminating information on tenders, tightly defining the pre-qualification criteria and other terms and conditions of the tender are some
of the steps recently taken at the instance of the Commission in order to bring about greater transparency and competition in the procurement/award of
tender. 2. In this context, Integrity Pact, a vigilance tool first promoted by the
Transparency International, has been found to be useful. The Pact essentially envisages an agreement between the prospective vendors/bidders and the buyer
committing the persons/officials of both the parties, not to exercise any corrupt influence on any aspect of the contract. Only those vendors/bidders who have entered into such an Integrity Pact with the buyer would be competent to
participate in the bidding. In other words, entering into this Pact would be a preliminary qualification. The Integrity Pact in respect of a particular contract
would be effective from the stage of invitation of bids till the complete execution of the contract.
3. The Integrity Pact envisages a panel of Independent External Monitors (IEMs) approved for the organization. The IEM is to review independently and
objectively, whether and to what extent parties have complied with their obligations under the Pact. He has right of access to all project documentation. The Monitor may examine any complaint received by him and submit a report to
the Chief Executive of the organization, at the earliest. He may also submit a report directly to the CVO and the Commission, in case of suspicion of serious
irregularities attracting the provisions of the PC Act. However, even though a contract may be covered by an Integrity Pact, the Central Vigilance Commission may, at its discretion, have any complaint received by it relating to such a
contract, investigated.
4. The Commission would recommend the Integrity Pact concept and encourage its adoption and implementation in respect of all major procurements of the Govt
organizations. As it is necessary that the Monitors appointed should be of high integrity and reputation, it has been decided that the Commission would approve
the names of the persons to be included in the panel. The Government Organizations are, therefore, required to submit a panel of names of eminent
persons of high integrity and repute and experience in the relevant field, through their administrative Ministry, for consideration and approval by the Commission as Independent External Monitors. The terms and conditions including the
remuneration payable to the Monitors need not be a part of the Integrity Pact and the same could be separately communicated. It has also to be ensured by
an appropriate provision in the contract, that the Integrity Pact is deemed as part of the contract in order to ensure that the parties are bound by the recommendation of the IEMs, in case any complaint relating to the contract is
found substantiated.
5. A copy of the Integrity Pact, which the SAIL got vetted by the Addl. Solicitor General is available on the Commission's website i.e www.cvc.nic.in as an attachment to this Office Order in downloadable form, which may be used in
original or may be suitably modified in order to meet the individual organization's requirements.

Satarkta Bhawan, Block-A,
GPO Complex, INA,
New Delhi-110023.
Dated, the 05th August 2008
Circular No.24/8/08
Sub:- Adoption of Integrity Pact in major Government procurement activities.
The Commission, vide its Circulars No. 41/12/07, dated 4.12.07 and 18/5/08 dated
19.5.08, has emphasized the necessity to adopt Integrity Pact (IP) in Government
organizations in their major procurement activities. The Commission had also directed
that in order to oversee the compliance of obligations under the Pact, by the parties
concerned, Independent External Monitors (IEMs) should be nominated with the approval
of the Commission, out of a panel of names proposed by an Organization.
2. As more and more organizations begin to adopt the Integrity Pact, several queries and
operational issues have been raised. The Commission has examined these issues and
suggested the following guidelines:
i) Adoption of Integrity Pact in an organization is voluntary, but once adopted, it should
cover all tenders/procurements above a specified threshold value, which should be set
by the organization itself.
ii) IP should cover all phases of the contract i.e., from the stage of Notice Inviting Tender
(NIT)/pre-bid stage to the stage of last payment or a still later stage, covered through
warranty, guarantee etc.
iii) IEMs are vital to the implementation of IP and at least one IEM should be invariably
cited in the NIT. However, for ensuring the desired transparency and objectivity in
dealing with the complaints arising out of any tendering process, the matter should be
referred to the full panel of IEMs, who would examine the records, conduct the
investigation and submit a report to the management, giving joint findings.
iv) A maximum of three IEMs would be appointed in Navratna PSUs and upto two IEMs in
other Public Sector Undertakings. The organizations may, however, forward a panel of
more than three names for the Commission’s approval. For the PSUs having a large
territorial spread or those having several subsidiaries, the Commission may consider
approving a large number of IEMs, but not more than two IEMs would be assigned to
any one subsidiary.
v) Remuneration payable to the IEMs may be similar to Independent Directors in the
organization.
vi) In view of limited procurement activities in the Public Sector Banks, Insurance
Companies and Financial Institutions, they are exempted from adopting IP.
3. It needs no reiteration that all Organizations make sustained efforts to realize the
spirit and objective of the Integrity Pact. For further clarifications on its implementation
or the role of IEMs, all concerned are advised to approach the Commission.

NEWS & EVENTS:
The Vigilance Study Circle, Hyderabad, has successfully completed 12 years of existence and
celebrated its Twelfth Anniversary at Lotus Auditorium, Chiran Fort Club, Hyderabad. K.V.
Chowdary, Central Vigilance Commissioner, New Delhi was the Chief Guest. He addressed the
gathering and presented the National Vigilance Excellence Awards to the eight best case studies
adjudged by the panellists, among entries received from the vigilance units of banks and PSUs in
the country. BEL, Corporate Vigilance has bagged the Vigilance Excellence award for one
of the case studies related to ‘Misuse of Physically Handicapped Quota.’ The award
carried a cash prize of Rs.5,000 and the ‘Vigilance Excellence Award’ for the CVO of BEL.
While delivering the keynote address, Central Vigilance Commissioner K V Chowdary strongly
advocated the need for speedy disposal of corruption cases pending with various departments
across the country. Emphasizing on the need for early detection of frauds, he said that
preventive vigilance was the first priority of the Commission. Mr. Chowdary also said that there
were about 6,500 cases of fraud being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
before the Vigilance Commission for about 20 years and the number of cases under trial for 10
years does not have their count. He said that the Commission has requested the CBI for giving
the court-wise details of such cases so that it can take up these cases with the Chief Justices of
various High Courts for speedy disposal. He stressed the need for booking cases against any
offense of fraud in the shortest time and to ensure their logical conclusion as early as possible to
stop further such offences. He added that we need to look at are we going to run after
administrative lapses or systematic frauds.
Mr. Chowdary further said that it is extremely important to prevent the commission of an
offence, to identify situations, systems, bottlenecks and do something to remove or straighten
them so that the number of areas that give rise to corruption are brought down. Technology has
enabled us to work faster and better but along with that, technology has brought in newer
problems.
He mentioned that there is a need to differentiate between the malafide and bonafide officers
and that the bonafide officers need to be protected as much as whistle-blowers. CVOs must
write focussed investigation reports, not just border on being peripheral in nature. Book the
case, investigate fast, publicise it internally and drive home the message so that it acts as a
deterrent, he said.
