Is Vigilance Clearance withheld when CBI seeks sanction for prosecution/file charges in the Court of Law?

(a) In the case of VC for promotion by DPC:

No. Only the Vigilance status i.e. the factual position of contemplation of RDA/Prosecution Sanction, will be provided to the HR Directorate for DPC purposes.

(b) In other cases of VC for Empanelment, Deputation and appointments to sensitive posts etc.:

Yes, if the Disciplinary Authority is in agreement with CBI’s report/recommendations.
