CVC is main agency for preventing corruption in the central government but it is not an investigating agency. The only investigation carried out by the CVC is that of examining Civil Works of the Government which is done through the Chief Technical Officer. Corruption investigations against government officials can proceed only after the government permits them. The CVC publishes a list of cases where permissions are pending, some of which may be more than a year old.

The Central Vigilance Commissioner and the Vigilance Commissioners are appointed by the President after obtaining the recommendation of a Committee consisting of 3 members:

The Prime Minister of India (Chairperson)

The Minister of Home Affairs

The Leader of the second largest party in the Lok Sabha or majority group leader in parliament

The term of office of the Central Vigilance Commissioner and the Vigilance Commissioners would be four years from the date on which they enter their office or till they attain the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier.
