Anti-Corruption hotline Machine

In order to provide assurance to the citizens to the effect that prompt deterrent action would be taken against the delinquents and to devise strategies for public awareness, the Central Vigilance Commission on the occasion of Vigilance Awareness Week has started a toll free hotline number 1800-11-1180. For this purpose, 10 dedicated phone lines have been installed in the Commission for lodging complaints by citizens. These complaints are forwarded to the Chief Vigilance Officer/Competent Authority concerned for taking necessary action and report.

The Central Vigilance Commission’s toll free number accessible to all citizens in all the States/UTs of the country. There is no proposal to install separate facility in the States/UTs.
