\nThe correct answer is B) The Vigilance Commissioners are appointed by the President on the recommendations of the Central Vigilance Commissioner. This statement is incorrect.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– According to Section 4 of the Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003, both the Central Vigilance Commissioner and the Vigilance Commissioners are appointed by the President.
\n– Their appointment is made on the recommendation of a Committee consisting of the Prime Minister (Chairperson), the Minister of Home Affairs, and the Leader of the Opposition in the House of the People.
\n– The CVC does not recommend the appointment of the Vigilance Commissioners.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Statement A is correct as per Section 4 of the CVC Act.
\n– Statement C is correct; Section 6 of the CVC Act prescribes a tenure of four years or until attaining the age of sixty-five years, whichever is earlier, for both the CVC and Vigilance Commissioners.
\n– Statement D reflects the spirit of independence and restriction on post-retirement employment outlined in Section 9 of the Act, which aims to prevent future favour and maintain impartiality. While not explicitly prohibited *during* tenure for *any* diplomatic assignment, their role inherently precludes such engagements, and post-tenure restrictions cover ‘office of profit under the Government’ which diplomatic assignments are. However, the clear factual inaccuracy is in statement B.
