It is clarified that since works in PSUs are being executed for Indian Railways, Railway vigilance has the authority to investigate the matter related. to complaints. In terms of Para 110.1 of IRVM 2018, vigilance officials are authorized to enter any of the premises of Indian Railways, including its PSUs, inspect any records and take possession of such documents, materials or stores as ·are necessary in connection with the investigation of case as, per procedure.

Considering the fact that there is a separate vigilance organization for each PSU, there appears no need for carrying out PCs/CTE type Ghecks/investigation of routine complaints. However, in cases where complaint is of serious nature and requires immediate investigations, zonal vigilance may undertake the investigation after taking the approval of PED/Vig & CVO, Ministry of Railways.
