CHAIRMAN, RAILWAY BOARO&EX-OFFICIO PRINCIPAL SECRETARYGOVERNMENT OF INDIAMINISTRY OF RAILWAYS4 thSeptember, 2018FOREWORDThe Indian Railways Vigilance Manual was first published in 1970and was last revised in 2006. In the decade since then , there have beenmany changes in the procedures, rules and policies relating to VigilanceAdministration . Hence there was a need to update the Manual and I amhappy that this has been done now. This new version will also be availableon the Indian Railways website and relevant orders and circulars will behyperlinked, thus making future updation easier.The Vigilance Organization of Indian Railways is a fundamental andessential part of management with a clearly defined role. The focus of theGovernment is on integrity and ethical behavior. This can be ensured onlywhen procedures are laid down clearly and a compilation of the rules andprocedures is the first step towards good governance. I am sure that thisManual will be useful to the Ministry and Field Units for VigilanceAdministration on the Indian Railways system.I compliment the Vigilance Directorate for undertaking this mammothtask of bringing out the revised and updated Indian Railways VigilanceManual, 2018.Room No. 236, Rail Shawan, New Delhi-110 001 .Tel.: 011 -23384010, Fax: 011 .23381453, E-mail : crb@rb.railnetgov.in
'I!rof (m-.'li) "II"'A", off fu;;;fi -110001GOVERNMENT OF INDIAMINISTRY OF RAILWAYS(RAILWAY BOARD)RAIL BHAVAN, NEW DELHI-110001SUNIL MATHURPrincipal Exec. DirJVigiiance&Chief Vigilance OfficerPREFACEOver the last decade or so Vigilance administration on Indian Railways has seena considerable number of changes in its rules & procedures.Most changes werenecessitated by new challenges which were thrown up, modifications of policy orsimplification in the systems of working. It is thus prudent and necessary that the IndianRailways Vigilance Manual, which was first published in 1970 and last revised in 2006, isupdated and the amendments of the intervening period are incorporated.Revising the Manual has involved considerable effort in selecting, reiterating,modifying and deleting provisions from the earlier Manual. We expect that most of whatis important and current in vigilance matters has been incorporated. We have made certainchanges in the format of the Manual. The sequence of chapters has been modified andsome chapters have even been deleted. An attempt has also been made to simplify detailsand I hope that our efforts will lead to easier understanding and referencing from thisManual.An on-line version of this Manual will be uploaded on the Indian Railways'website - 'www.indianrailways.gov.in '- and we expect that making subsequent changes,when necessary, will become easier and will be done on-line. We have also hyperlinkedimportant circulars from the Ministry of Railways, the Central Vigilance Commission andthe Department of Personnel & Training. The revised Vigilance Manual 2017 issued bythe Central Vigilance Commission has been used extensively for incorporating materialfor our IRVM.[t needs to be stated that the provisions of the Manual do not supersede any rulecontained in Railway Codes and, in case of any conflict, the provisions in the RailwayCodes shall prevail. We recommend a reference to the original rules and instructions ofthe concerned Directorate whenever any doubts arise. This is particularly true in thesphere of Establishment and D&AR matters.Bringing out this Manual has been a gratifying experience. The team-work andcoordination displayed by the entire Vigilance Directorate of the Railway Board and theVigilance departments of Zonal Railways has been exemplary.Teams were formedwithin the Directorate to review different chapters. After the initial work was done in theRailway Board, the Manual was circulated to the Zonal Railways' Vigilance departmentswhere also separate teams were formed by the SDGMs to look at various chapters.Thereafter, the suggested changes were incorporated and the final document was reviewedby the Executive Directors and Directors of the Vigilance Directorate in the RailwayBoard several times. The result is now available with you.
