New Delhi: In a notable development, Nilabhra Sengupta (IRSSE: 1997), Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) of Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Bengaluru, has been prematurely repatriated to his parent cadre, before completing even one year of his assigned three-year tenure.

The decision was formalized through an official order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Monday, October 6, 2025.

Premature Exit: Less Than a Year Into Tenure

Sengupta had assumed charge as CVO of BEL on October 25, 2024, with a sanctioned tenure of three years. However, his repatriation comes just short of completing a year, marking an early end to his deputation.

The competent authority has approved his return with an extended ‘cooling-off’ period, which typically restricts immediate reappointment to central deputation roles. No official reason has been cited for the premature return in the DoPT notification.

Role of a CVO in PSUs

As Chief Vigilance Officer, Sengupta was responsible for overseeing vigilance functions and internal anti-corruption mechanisms within BEL, a strategically important defence public sector undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of Defence.

The premature exit of a CVO is often closely watched due to the sensitive nature of the position, especially in defence PSUs where vigilance oversight plays a critical role in procurement and compliance.

Background on Nilabhra Sengupta

Nilabhra Sengupta belongs to the Indian Railway Service of Signal Engineers (IRSSE), 1997 batch. He has served in various technical and administrative roles within the railways and central government, prior to his appointment as CVO of BEL.
