VERIFICATION OF CHARACTER & ANTECEDENTS
Introduction
Verification of character and antecedents in respect of a candidate selected for
recruitment to Central Government and its Undertakings is conducted by the VR
Section of the Collectorate. When a candidate is selected for recruitment, a Police
Verification Report is sought by the concerned Employer through the District
Magistrate of the district where the prospective employee resides normally. Such
letters having been received by the VR Section is scrutinized thoroughly and
registered and then sent to SP (DIB) for verification. SP (DIB) on receipt of the
papers gets the cases enquired through his agency and sends his report to DIG
(IB) West Bengal who finally sends his verification report to the District
Magistrate. The VR Section on the basis of such report of DIG (IB) West Bengal
frames a report and finally sends it to the concerned Employer.
In the entire process of verification, any backlog and procedural hazards causes
delay in furnishing reports to the Employer. As a result, candidates selected and
exherted to be appointed suffers. Hence, timely disposal of character verification
reports and regular monitoring is a must. This can be best achieved through the
use of computer.
