It has been made a complete document by hyperlinking orders/circulars cited in the Manual (in the online version).
This Manual will be a reference for almost all aspects of vigilance administration.
The Central Vigilance Commission will constantly update it based on the suggestions received from all stakeholders.
Previous Modifications/amendments were carried out through Circulars, Guidelines, Instructions etc. issued by the Central Vigilance Commission / DoPT / MHA etc.
