It is the duty of the Central Vigilance Commission to stop corruption in India, but they need sanction from government to file a case against criminals.

The CVC Central Vigilance Commission is awaiting sanction for prosecution in about 45 corruption cases against senior government officials, including IRSs and IAS, for more than four months.

According to Central Vigilance Commission,
Cases against three Indian Revenue Service officers
and Indian Administrative Service officers are among those awaiting sanction from their respective departments for prosecuting them for their alleged involvement in corrupt practices.

The highest of six cases are from Ministry of Urban Development,
five from Ministry of Finance,
three each from Ministry of Railways, Coal India Ltd
and two each from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and UCO Bank among others.

"We keep sending reminders to concerned offices to grant sanction for prosecution.
But it has been noticed that such reminders are often ignored and approvals are delayed beyond stipulated time," a CVC official said.

He said, "We plan to take up the matter with the government to devise ways to deal with the issue of delayed nod for prosecution."

One case each from United India Insurance Company Ltd, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Bharat Petroleum Company Ltd, State Bank of India and Ministry of Coal is awaiting sanction for prosecution.
