    is 63 years old. The Government wants to appoint her as Central Vigilance Commissioner. Which legal limitation must be checked first?
    A She must have at least 20 years of judicial experience Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B She must not have already completed an aggregate of four years as VC + CVC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E She must belong to an All-India Service only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under Section 5(2) provisos, a Vigilance Commissioner is eligible to be appointed CVC but the aggregate term as VC and CVC cannot exceed four years, so this aggregate cap is the crucial limitation.​
