MESSAGE

It gives me immense pleasure to know that Diesel Loco Modernisation Works, Patiala is

bringing out ‘Drishti’ during Vigilance Awareness Week to be observed from 29th October to 3rd

November, 2012.

Corrupt practices adversely affect confidence of Railway users in the system. The main

purpose of Vigilance Awareness Week is to bring home to all officers and staff, the need to promote a

corruption free organization and help them to perform their duties fearlessly and efficiently. In order

to further enhance the quality of our service we must ensure that our actions remain transparent even

under most trying circumstances.

I convey my best wishes to each member of DMW family on the occasion. I hope the contents

of this magazine will help promote Vigilance consciousness among Railwaymen and enable them in

performing day to day work with loyalty.

MESSAGE

I am pleased to learn that Vigilance Organization of Diesel Loco Modernization Works,

Patiala is bringing out the special issue of ‘Drishti’ during the Vigilance Awareness Week, 2012.

Central Vigilance Commission has declared the theme for this year as ‘Transparency in Public

Procurement.’

In view of the large procurement done by Indian Railways, there is a need to train the officers

and staff at the field level regarding the initiatives towards increasing transparency and

accountability in procurement. There is also an urgent need for inculcating Vigilance Awareness

amongst all and to educate the staff how to avoid possible pitfalls.

The Vigilance Bulletin plays a great role in Vigilance education, generating awareness against

malpractices and other irregular activities. I hope the features published in this Bulletin would be

very useful in enhancing transparency and efficiency in Railway working.

I congratulate the Vigilance organization of DMW for their sincere efforts in bringing out this

Vigilance Bulletin as a part of Vigilance Awareness Week, 2012.

MESSAGE

It gives me pleasure to note that the Vigilance Department of DMW is bringing out the 3rd

issue of Vigilance Magazine 'Drishti'. This will continue the education of the staff in vigilance

matters.

The basic objective in bringing out the magazine is to promote vigilance awareness among

Railway persons and to educate them on how to avoid possible vigilance pitfalls. Quite often

vigilance cases are registered due to ignorance of rules, procedures and non-application of mind. I

hope that this magazine will help Railway personnel in discharging their duties efficiently and

fearlessly.

Railwaymen are required to maintain a high level of integrity and honesty. Vigilance is an

attitude which must be integral to the way we work.

I compliment the Vigilance Organization for bringing out this issue on the occasion of

Vigilance Awareness Week-2012. I also take this opportunity to call upon all Railwaymen to

reinforce their unwavering commitment to the war against corruption.

Vigilance Organization of DMW is bringing out this special edition of 'Drishti' in the form of

a magazine during Vigilance Awareness Week being observed from 29th October to 3rd November,

2012 for the information and education of Railwaymen.

Vigilance Department plays a vital role as conscience keepers of the organization. Of late

there has been a shift from punitive vigilance to preventive vigilance. Need of the hour is to create

awareness amongst the staff and to make available maximum information for staff and public on

website. DMW is committed to not only curbing corruption but also creating awareness and publicity

against corruption. A large number of cases dealt by vigilance now a days are borne out of procedural

lapses. I believe that system improvements and employee awareness will go a long way in reducing

corruption.

Our thrust in DMW is more on preventive vigilance by bringing transparency in working

through leveraging of technology.

The publication of this magazine shall help in spreading awareness amongst Railways staff

and officers.

I hope this issue will be read with interest. Any suggestion for improvement is welcome.

I am thankful to all who have contributed in the making & publication of this issue of 'Drishti'.

FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED

Reporting of transactions of immovable property under Conduct Rules

With the increase in salaries and various allowances, the disposable income in the hands

of the employees has increased substantially.

Various Banks and NBFCs are eager to extend loan facility to government servants at

competitive rate of interest.

This coupled with the value system of Indians propel the employees to invest in

immovable property, be it a residential house or land.

It must be kept in mind that certain rules and guidelines have to be followed by

Government employees for investing in immovable property. These guidelines are given in the

Railway Servant (Conduct) Rules, 1966.

Employees out of ignorance and sheer carelessness act in violation of these guidelines

thus infringing the provisions and inviting disciplinary action. Attention must be given

particularly to Rule-18 if one is contemplating investing in immovable assets.

Immovable property may be acquired/disposed of by Railway Servants in the form of

lease, mortgage, purchase, sale, gift or otherwise either in his own name or in the name of any

member of his family.

All transaction of immovable property, irrespective of money value, are required to be

reported under Rule 18(2) of the Railway Services (Conduct) Rules prior to entering into the

transaction. In case, the dealing is with the person having official dealing with the Railway

servant, it has to be entered into only with the prior approval of the competent authority.

Rules 18(2) is also applicable to cases of construction of house for residential purposes.

The form on which such intimation is submitted at least 30 days ahead of transaction is

called Form 18 (2) and is readily available in Welfare Section of Personnel Department. It is

also available on the website of DMW, Patiala (www.dmw.indianrailways.gov.in). This form is

to be filled by the Railway Servant. It is processed by Personnel deptt. after it is duly forwarded

by the controlling officer.

7

Staff whose lien is being retained in DMW but are posted on deputation etc. outside

DMW, are required to report such transactions to DMW through proper channel.

Failure to abide with these directions may invite disciplinary action against the Railway

Servant.

The transaction of money value upto Rs. Five lacs are put up to the Dy. HOD controlling

officer of the Railway Servant. The transactions exceeding this value are put up to the HOD

concerned.

The controlling officer, who comments upon the integrity of the Railway Servant through

Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR), is expected to see carefully the source(s) of

finance indicted in form 18(2) alongwith supporting documents submitted by the Railway

servant.

The application(s) for PF withdrawal or House Building Advance is processed by

Personnel deptt. only after the transaction has been noted by the competent authority. In respect

of such Railway servants, the 'cost ceiling' stipulated by Railway Board from time to time is

taken cognizance of.

In case the transaction is entered into by spouse or any other member of the family in their

own name and in their own right out their own funds (including stridhan, gifts, inheritance etc.)

as distinct from the funds of the Railway servant source of income then the Railway Servant is

not required to report such transaction.

This knowledge will not only enable you to adhere to the Conduct Rules but also assist

you in keeping a better accountal of your assets as well as enable you to have all documentary

evidences of your transactions.

Corrupt Adam

There is an old biblical story explaining evolution of human beings. Adam and Eve were

friends who lived in heaven, under protection and guidance of God. Heaven had rich supply of

fresh fruits for Adam and Eve to relish. Since they needed no more but fruits and each other's

company, they were happy. Heaven was, strangely though, infested with snakes and vermin.

These snakes and vermin were agents of Satan or Anti God. Satan hated God and everything God

loved.

Now there was an apple tree in heaven which bore fragrant apples. God forbade Adam

from partaking the fruits of that tree. Such order attracted Satan's curiosity. Satan sent his agent,

Snake, to entice Adam to partake the now adorable, alluring, beautiful, beckoning, bewitching,

captivating, charming, enchanting, enticing, fascinating, glamorous, inviting, lovely, luring,

magnetic, mesmeric, pleasant, pleasing, propossessing, seductive, stunning, tantalizing,

tempting, fragrant, forbidden apple.

Snake invited Adam and Eve to a feast of fruits to which Adam and Eve happily agreed.

Hardly had the feast begun that the Snake said "Oh Great Adam, please allow me the pleasure of

requesting you to partake most fragrant, juicy and delicious fruit." Snake continues the act of

enticement "Oh my Excellency, Great Adam, you are the most honoured and revered believer of

God. How can he forbid you to such great pleasure? Oh such travesty! This must have been a

spoof my honour. Sir, please waste no time, the most honourable and gracious Adam, partake the

best pleasure heaven has to offer". After a litter bit of mouth watering adulatory persuation,

Adam and Eve ate the apple. The first sin was committed, God condemned Adam and Eve to

earth and humans have since proliferated.

The charges were that Adam took illegal gratification (illegal because God makes law in

heaven) which amounts to corruption and falls within the ambit of corruption as defined under

section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (of course this article has only Indian audience

on whom this act applies).

But can we say that Adam was actually corrupt. Let us look into various scenarios.

Scenario I: Snake was an agent for Satan. Satan had ordered Snake to entice Adam and

Eve to taste the apple. The facts of the case do not indicate that either Satan or Snake were aware

of the consequences of Adam and Eve eating the God forbidden apple. The very existence of

Satan is opposed to God and it was expected out of his very nature that he would do something

against God. Hence, Satan did no wrong prima facie, he just did what his master had ordered him

to do. Snake just did it with lots of advertisement. The advertisement was based upon facts, as

you all know "an apple a day keeps doctor away." Is advertisement corruption or is it not?

Obviously when government can take money from soft drink companies for showing their

advertisement on Doordarshan while the companies were defending presence of pesticides in

their products, then any type of advertisement cannot be corruption. Snake was merely

requesting Adam to eat an apple. Hence neither Satan nor Snake have committed any wrong.

9

Further the facts of the case also do not indicate whether Adam was himself aware of the

consequences of eating the apple. Was it not the duty of his master, God to inform him of

consequences of breach of orders. How could Adam be condemned without being given

reasonable opportunity to defend his case? No prior intimation of possible consequences, no

hearing, is this not blatant murder of natural justice. Why was the tree created if the fruit could

not be eaten? What was the intention of letting the tree grow and prosper? Therefore who is to be

blamed for the first sin? God! Oh my God.

Scenario II: Adam and Eve even after persistent persuasion by Snake do not partake the

forbidden apple. Satan enters into the root of the tree and begins to dry it out. The branches begin

to shrink and drop. The apples also begin to fall.

Snake says "Oh the great, most pious, observant and intelligent Adam, the apples are

falling . God must have willed you to eat this kind of fruits for otherwise why would it fall on

your refusal to partake it. Do not be so harsh, you generous holy one. Please partake the apple

before the fruit, the best gift of God, is lost forever." Adam lifts a fallen apple before any worm

could infect it. The tree suddenly looks livelier.

Pepped by Snake, Adam applies logic. He tells himself " the tree is drying because I have

refused to partake its lovely fruit. Why would God have created such a wonderful fruit if it were

to perish merely because I did not eat this fruit! Snake is right. This must be God's joke on me. Or

God must be testing my analytical skills before giving me some suitable job. I surely need a

promotion after all these years of aimless, worthless toiling in heaven and that too only with Eve.

This surely is a test. I have been a fool for not having eaten this fruit before. Further, is it not my

duty to protect and preserve what God has created? How can I allow God's best creation to perish

because of some unexplained orders?"

God never conducted PNM where Adam could have raised the issue of dumb, illegal and

arrogant orders. Well then given such a big burden of preserving God's best creation Adam

agreed even under threat of unknown punishment to sacrifice his allegiance to God's order not to

eat the forbidden fruit to the holier duty of preserving God's best creation. Of course Adam was

condemned otherwise who would be reading this dumb story, but why? The charges were that

Adam took illegal gratification which amounts to corruption. But, does natural justice not

demand atleast a PNM! Oh my God.

Scenario III: Sorry! I am a believer and cannot discuss this scenario without being

arrested for blasphemy.

Eve also deserves a better mention, but alas, vigilance department is not interested in

cases of sexual and general harassment.

A STEP TOWARDS TRANSPARENCY

Transparency plays an important role to reduce/eliminate corruption. In this era of RTI

role of transparency has become more important. To propel the various programmes/targets of

Govt. on India in elimination of corruption through transparency Accounts Department of

DMW Patiala has played an important role. This role has reduced the time taken for releasing

the payment of Suppliers Bills and made all the informations transparent. While dealing with

supplier’s bill, following steps are taken in Store Bill Section of Accounts Department.

1. Number of Suppliers Bills received from (Mail-postage, Consignees and DROP BOX)

are entered in a manuscript register under the witness of a Sr. Section Officer.

2. DROP Box is opened once in a day at fixed time displayed on the Box; under the witness

of Sr. Section Officer. Number of bills taken out are entered in the register.

3. Total number of bills received from all the sources entered in manuscript register are

entered into online computerized CO-6 register on the same very day.

4. In case any of the bill (exception) could not be entered in CO-6 register due to technical

difficulties/human errors etc; reason alongwith particulars of the bills are entered in the

manuscript register. And the same is registered on the next day after removal of the

deficiencies.

5. CO-6 number also known as AB No. (Account Bill No) is system generated having no

human interference.

6. The moment bill of a firm is registered its status is displayed on official website of DMW

www.dmw.indianrailways.gov.in.

7. Suppliers can access the status of their bill on website by using their party code number

given on the Purchase Order issued by Stores Department, Party code is their 1st time

password and can be changed by the users.

8. Registered bills are passed on to accounts assistant for internal check – wherein internal

audit with reference to terms and condition of purchase orders/various rules is exercised.

9. Bills found fit in internal audit are passed for payment and bills which are not fit for

payment for want of some documents/clarifications are returned back wherefrom the

bills were received; with a covering letter clearly defining the deficiencies in the bill. A

copy of this letter is endorsed to the Supplier/Consignee (as the case may be).

10. To facilitate suppliers to submit their correct claim in order to minimize returning the

number of bills unpassed; a check list has been provided to Stores Department; which is

enclosed with each purchase order issued by Stores Department.

11

11. After the bill is passed for payment; on line CO7 (abstract of bills passed) is generated

and signed by Sr. Section Officers/Accounts Officers.

12. CO-7s alongwith passed bills are sent to Books Section for preparation of

Cheques/Demand Drafts/EFT/NEFT statements. The data is transferred online.

13. With effect from 01.09.2010 Accounts Department of DMW has discontinued insurance

of cheques (except in very exceptional circumstance where party code has not been

allotted for release of Earnest Money etc) and payment of 100% bills of suppliers are

released through EFT/NEFT/RTGS i.e. on line crediting to the bank accounts of

beneficiaries.

14. Based on online data a consolidated statement of payment to be released through

EFT/NEFT is generated and sent to the Manager, SBOP/DMW branch through Cash

Office alongwith one cheque of consolidated amount.

15. Based on mandate of EFT/NEFT, SBOP transfers the respective amount to the Bank A/cs

of beneficiaries and the amount gets credited to suppliers accounts immediately (on the

same day).

16. On transfer of the amount to the beneficiaries account an online UTR (Unique

Transaction Record) number is generated.

17. Cash Office Staff of DMW collects the UTR number in each case and an advise of

payment credited to the beneficiaries account is sent to the suppliers by post, wherein

details of their claim i.e. bill number, amount deducted etc alongwith UTR number is

filled in.

18 In exceptional cases where transaction of online transfer (RTGS) fails due to some

technical failure, link failure etc. bank generates DDs payable in f/o beneficiary on the

same day. Cash Office staff collect DDs of such cases and dispatches to the supplier

alongwith payment advice note.

19. The status of bill passed/payment released is uploaded on official website of DMW

(www.dmw.indianrailways.gov.in) daily. The access of the status can be visited by the

supplier through their party code (Password)

20. Status of the payment released through EFT/NEFT/RTGS in last six months i.e. 01.04.12

to 30.09.12 is given below.

Period No. of Bills Passed No. of Bills through EFT/RTGS %

April’12 to June ’12 3641 3616 99%

July’12 to Sept. ’12 3480 3405 98%

Total 7121 7021 98.5%

21. Cautions for Stores Bill Staff:-

i) Ensure all the bills are registered on same day

ii) Exhaustive cheques are exercised before passing/returning the bills to avoid

repetition of queries/return of bills

iii) Ensure mandate of the Bank details: A/c No., FS code is correct to avoid rejection of

EFT/RTGS transactions.

iv) Register-link the dak/amendments on the same day of receipt to avoid return of bills.

v) Ensure details of bills passed/payment released are recorded on the back side of P.O.

and signed by Sr. SO/AFA to avoid passing the same bill 2nd time.

vi) Do not permit human interference in MMIS/AFRES.

vii) Ensure that recovery, if any due has been made before CO-7 is generated.

viii)Security deposit wherever required has been deposited and bank

guarantees are not released before the completion of P.O. is obtained from

consignee.

22 Cautions for Executive (Consignee) Officers:-

(i) Ensure that bill is enclosed with check list and all the checks are exercised.

(ii) Ensure that bill is accompanied with payment advice note.

(iii) Ensure that material has been inspected (by the nominated inspecting agency),

accepted and taken on official books of Railways and endorsed the reference of

accountal where the receipt material has been entered.

(iv) Security deposit (whenever prescribed) has been obtained and accepted with

requisite amount and has been sent to Accounts prior to forwarding the bill.

(v) Bill is signed by Competent Authority.

Honesty and Integrity - a missing feature

Educational Honesty and Integrity is a necessary ingredient for school systems to

evaluate their core curriculum. There are students who are toilsome, do a lot of spadework,

work strenuously and painstakingly to earn their grades whereas there are other types of students

who believe they will prosper and burgeon out academically only through unprincipled means

of cheating. There are probably a number of students who cheated their entire way through high

school and college classes ignoring, disparaging and disrespecting the Integrity of the intent of

exams.

The more you walk, talk, and behave consistently with your highest values, the more you

will like yourself and the better you will feel about yourself and your self-image will improve

and your level of self-acceptance will go up. You will feel stronger, bolder and more capable of

facing any challenge within your family and your society as well.

There are three primary areas of your life where acting with Integrity is crucial. These are

the three areas of greatest temptation for forsaking your Integrity, as well as the areas of greatest

opportunity for building your Integrity. When you listen to your inner voice and do what you

know to be the right thing in each of these areas, you will have a sense of immense peace,

satisfaction and gratification that will lead you on to sure success and high achievements.

The first area of Integrity has to do with your relationships with your family and your

friends, the people close to you. Being true to yourself means living in truth with each person in

your life. It means refusing to say or do something that you don't believe is right. Living in truth

with other people means that you refuse to stay in any situation where you are unhappy with the

behavior of another person. You refuse to tolerate it. You refuse to compromise. Psychologists

have determined that most stress and negativity comes from attempting to live in a way that is

not congruent with your highest values. It is when your life is out of alignment, when you are

doing and saying one thing on the outside, but really feeling and believing something different

on the inside, that you feel most unhappy. When you decide to become an individual of

Character and Integrity, your first action will be to neutralize or remove all difficult relationships

from your life.

17

The second field of Integrity has to do with your commitments to others, especially in

your business, your work and your sales activities. Always keep your word. Be a man or a

woman of honour. If you say that you will do something, do it. If you make a promise, keep it. If

you make a commitment, fulfil it. Be known as the kind of person that can be trusted absolutely,

no matter what the circumstances would be.

And the third area of Integrity has to do with your attitude and behavior towards money

like things. Casualness towards money brings casualties in your financial life. You must be

fastidious about your treatment of money, especially other peoples money. You must guard your

credit rating the same way you would guard your honour. You must pay your bills punctually, or

even early. You must keep your promises with regard to your financial commitments.

Your Integrity is manifested in your willingness to adhere to the values you hold most

dear. Its easy to make promises and hard to keep them, but if you do, every single act of integrity

will make your character a little stronger. And as you improve the quality and strength of your

character, every other part of your life will improve as well.

The need of the hour is to deracinate the virus of cynical and disparaging integrity and

dishonesty from our fraudulent mind-sets. Categorically speaking, this ability of Honesty &

Integrity is a god-gift, not everyone is endowed with it.

While culminating the central idea that Integrity and Honesty must be preserved and

well-maintained with great perseverance and insistence and let us all Railway fraternity pledge

for the same.

Lastly, while summing up the topic, the element of Honesty and Integrity must be

imbibed in every body's life by his/her guardians/teachers right from the beginning he/she

comes to world and also needs to be harvested amongst the society to avoid worthless and

insignificant pursuits for wealth.

Facts to be kept in mind during Local Purchase

Local purchase is an effective tool in the hands of Stores officers while fulfilling the

urgent low value needs of the users. This power has been given to the officers to avoid any

disruption in production on account of non-availability of materials. It is often seen local

purchase being mis-utilized in procuring less urgent and such items which can otherwise be

purchased by COS office. This defeats the very purpose of delegation of local purchase powers.

Railway Board has increased the powers of JAG officers up to Rs. 1 lakh per case. This

means more care needs to be exercised by the purchase authorities. The common mistake in

local purchase that is seen is that sometimes demands are fake, firms are non-existent, and rates

accepted are unreasonably high and artificial urgency is entertained. If we follow certain

guidelines as given below it will result in proper and genuine purchase:-

1 Check whether approval of competent authority has been obtained. Indicate quantity and

rate both in figures and words. All cuttings should be properly attested. Do not purchase

stock item through non-stock unless specific reasons are there and approval of competent

authority is available.

2 Take urgency certificate of the consignee wherever the item required is urgent. Do not

entertain fake urgency.

3 Limited Tenders to be resorted to in only exceptional cases. The names of firms in the

Limited Tenders should be selected with due care. Ensure that a register of local purchase

sources is maintained after inspection of the existence and capacity. No tender enquiry is

to be given to a firm who is non-existent. Do not collect more than one quotation from

single firm.

4 Keep a list of Rate Contract (RC) items available on DGS&D RC. The list and RC details

are readily available on www.dgsnd.gov.in site. It is also the duty of indenters to advise

purchase officer suitably in this matter.

22

5 Keep a list of banned item for which approval of GM with finance concurrence is

necessary. Do not purchase such items without approval.

6 Procure safety items from approved suppliers only.

7 Even if the lowest offer is accepted, still ensure that the accepted rate is reasonable.

Before accepting a quotation, have a look at all the quotations and see that they have been

arranged in the correct order. Be vigilant while deciding offers with small differences on

all-inclusive prices.

8 Do not split indents to bring the purchase within the local purchase power. No local

purchase should be repeated within a span of 6 months unless extremely urgent. If

demand is recurrent in nature then ask indenter to place a bulk demand on COS and make

the item a stock item.

9 Never burst the ceiling as given in Schedule of Powers.

10 Do ensure that all the columns of the prescribed form are properly filled with due

considerations of past consumption, stock in hand, covered/un-covered dues and basis of

rate. Documentary evidence for rate must be attached with the demand.

How to Prevent Vigilance Cases

Vigilance Department steps in only when we ourselves become non vigilant. Vigilance

cases can be avoided by keeping in mind the following :

• Take care of official documents as you care about your own money.

• Work in a very transparent manner.

• Start action as quickly as you would take treatment after falling ill.

• Never use official resources for your personal benefit.

• Obey all just orders of superiors as you would respect your parents.

• Resist unjust orders of superiors as you would do when encountered with chain snatcher.

As you file complaint after losing your gold chain to the snatcher. Similarly act after

obeying unjust orders.

• Not only be transparent but also appear to be transparent in official dealings.

• Never claim what is not due to you as per rules.

• Keep a copy of the rules handy which you have to follow in routine.

• If anything is done by mistake never take too long to correct it.

• While working under oral directions from the official superior write “As desired by

you.....”

• Always keep in mind that all Railway servants are working for the Ministry of Railways,

Govt. of India. The difference is only of emoluments and responsibilities. No one can

behave like owner of a private property.

• Always keep in mind that your actions are open to Vigilance scrutiny.

• Behave like humans while dealing with your customers.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT VIGILANCE

1. Vigilance Department investigates crimes under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988

and other laws, if found violated in addition to the above act.

The crimes in the above act include -

• demand of bribe by a public servant

• possession of assets by a public servant, which are disproportionate to his known sources

of income

• misuse of office by a public servant, involving decision causing undue loss to the public

exchequer or undue gain to a private person or the public servant himself

• bribe taking by/through touts/middlemen

2. Vigilance Department is a specialized agency meant for investigation of crime relating to

Corruption by Public Servants. An individual can approach any unit of Vigilance

Department nearest to him, anywhere in the Country. India has such units at all the

district headquarters in the States.

3. It is not necessary for a person to physically approach a unit of Vigilance Department for

providing information/complaint about corruption. Vigilance Department can also be

approached by sending the information/complaint by post, by making a phone call to the

concerned unit, by sending e mails to its officers or by posting the information/complaint

on website.

4. It is necessary to mention one's identity for giving information/complaint to Vigilance

Department in accordance with the guidelines formulated by the Central Vigilance

Commission, India. Vigilance Department does not entertain anonymous /

pseudonymous information / complaint.

Having said this, the informant / complainant can however, always request to keep

his/her identity secret. Vigilance Department takes all the necessary care to ensure that

identity of such persons is kept secret.

5. A large number of crimes of corruption unearthed by Vigilance Department are based on

oral information provided by individuals in confidence. Vigilance Department has a very

well laid down policy of handling such information and informants, which is followed

scrupulously. The informant is only handled by the officer to whom the information has

been provided. Disclosure of the identity of the informant cannot be demanded even by

the senior officers of the officer to whom the information has been provided. The identity

of such informant is never put in writing in any record. It is not even disclosed to the

courts. Courts also do not have power to compel Vigilance Department to disclose the

identity of the informant.

No action is initiated by Vigilance Department on such information without subjecting

them to discreet verification. While taking care that the secrecy of the information is not

leaked, such information is put to detailed verification. It is only after ensuring that a

prima facie criminal case is made out, a criminal case is registered and further action

taken.

6. Vigilance Department lays great emphasis on catching corrupt public servants. The

process of catching such corrupt public servants red handed while they demand and take

bribes is popularly called the 'trap'. It is not a legal term. A set procedure has been devised

in Vigilance Department to lay a trap against a corrupt public servant. The evidence

collected during the process of trap is placed before the court along with the charge sheet

and is quite important in securing conviction of the public servant. Trap can be laid within

a very short time, hence is a very effective tool against corrupt public servants.

7. As per section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, demand of bribe is a

punishable offence. That is to say that acceptance of bribe is not a mandatory requirement

to prosecute a public servant. If it can be proved in the court by way of evidence that the

public servant had demanded bribe for an official act, the public servant can be convicted.

Laying of trap is just a means of collection of evidence to prove the guilt. It is preferred

because it facilitates collection of good evidence and makes a case fool proof. In the

absence of trap, it is difficult to collect evidence of demand of bribe. It, however, does not

mean that laying of trap is mandatory and nothing can be done in the absence of a trap.

8. Not only bribe taking but bribe giving is also an offence under the law. In that case the

complainant who hands over the bribe is also an accused. Bribe giving is an offence as per

section 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, but only when it is given

voluntarily. The law however, protects such persons who complain to the law

enforcement agencies soon after demand of bribe by a public servant, even if they had

agreed to the demand. Section 24 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 provides

such protection to the acts of the complainant during the process of laying of trap.

9. Voluntarily giving or offering bribe is also a punishable offence under section 12 of the

Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. In such a case the honest public servant should

inform Vigilance Department as soon as such an offer is made. In fact such a bribe giver

36

can also be caught red handed by laying a trap on the complaint of the honest public

servant. The honest public servant shall, therefore, take steps to get such persons

punished, rather than ignoring or just reprimanding them. This will deter the

unscrupulous elements from bribe giving.

10. Sometimes Public servants in higher positions don't demand or take bribes directly but

through the touts or middlemen. Vigilance Department takes action against such touts or

middlemen also. Sections 8 & 9 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 punishs such

touts/middlemen. On getting information/complaints against such touts/middlemen,

Vigilance Department lays trap against them with the help of the complainant or

otherwise. Further Vigilance Department attempts to gather evidence against the

concerned public servant also on whose behalf the touts/middlemen are active. Such a

public servant is also punishable under section 10 of the Prevention of Corruption Act,

1988. Vigilance Department requests the general public to provide information about

such known touts/middlemen, who are active in many public offices. Vigilance

Department takes steps to verify such information at its own level and ensures action

against such touts/middlemen even without a complainant.

11. Vigilance Department can take action against corrupt public servants leading a lavish life

style and having possessions much beyond their means. Possession of assets and

incurring expenditure, which are beyond the known sources of income of a public

servant, is punishable under section 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

Vigilance Department requests the citizens to provide specific details about assets and

expenditure of such public servants. Providing general and vague information, however,

does not help. Upon receiving specific details, Vigilance Department conducts discreet

verification of the same and conducts raids at the premises of such public servants after

registration of criminal case.

Corruption in India- Nothing New About It !

Corruption is very old in India and Indians, by default, are not willing to pay the price of

remaining non-corrupt, so corruption is prevalent in every stage of life.

When was the first bribe offered in India which was documented? Well, most probably, it

happened some three thousand years ago if one believes the story of Ramayana. Even if some

one does not believe in the epic Ramayana, just remember, it is mentioned in that epic, so

someone might have thought about bribing in that period when Ramayana was conceived!

The story goes like this:-

Once Ravana, the powerful and rich king of Lanka, visited hell (kingdom of Yama) disgusing as

a Brahmin. A guard was assigned to Ravana to show around the hell. Ravana was watching all

sinners getting punished. They he saw a big pot of boiling oil, but no man was in it. Getting

curious, Ravana asked the guard why the oil is boiling while no body is being put (punished)

there. The guard replied that a big sinner named Ravana would be punished in that boiling oil, so

the oil is being kept ready for him. Ravana's face went white in fear, so he asked the guard if there

is any way Ravana can escape from such punishment. The guard hesitated to tell. So, Ravana,

immediately offered his Kamandal (water pot carried by Brahmins, supposed to be having

magical powers) as bribe to the guard, and guard told him that, Ravana can escape such

punishment only if he is killed by Rama who is none but avatar of Lord Vishnu.

So, this was the main reason why Ravana kidnapped Sita, so that he could be killed by

Rama and escape the punishment in hell.

This is the first documented record of bribe in India and it is continuing gloriously since.
