A major part of its work is to refer important corruption activities to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The CVC was instrumental in removing former CBI Director Alok Verma from the post in January 2019 after allegations of corruption were levelled against him in 2018.

All the Central Vigilance Officers (CVOs) in government departments submit reports to the CVC and operate on the basis of guidelines/circulars issued by the CVC.
