OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Online submission of Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APARs) for the year 2022-23 for all Group ‘A’ Officers of Department of Posts – regarding.

The Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) is an important document as it provides the basic and vital inputs for assessing the performance of an officer and for his/her further promotions/career advancements. It is, therefore , essential that APAR s are completed in a time bound manner so that up-to-date APARs are available by due date.

2. It has been observed that there are instances where confirmation, regular promotion, appointment to sensitive posts, deputation etc., could not be considered in time due to non-availability of APARs for the relevant period. Therefore, the process of recording of APAR of IPoS Group ‘A’ and MMS Group ‘A’ officers through SPARROW portal, wherever applicable , following procedure which has been prescribed, is reiterated to be followed by all concerned :

i) In SPARROW portal, e-APAR work flow is created by the Custodian based on basic employee information received from the Officer Reported Upon in prescribed format i.e. Annexure-I. The Custodian/PAR Manager have been defined in Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) circulated vide Department of Post O.M. No. 25-4/2013-SPG (Vol.II) dated 20.07.2020.

(ii) Any delay/mistake in furnishing basic employee information by the Officer Reported Upon will be his own responsibility. The Officer Reported Upon must furnish information in Annexure-1 , period/part wise, well in time with due care. The officer himself will be responsible for correctness of details provided. Wherever necessary, following documents will be appended to the Annexure -I.

• a. Copy of relieving order from the previous charge and copy of joining report in the current charge for which the APAR is being written.
• b. In case, where option ‘NRC’ is chosen by the Officer Reported Upon, the ground for NRC should be clearly specified by the Officer Reported Upon i.e. multiple reporting officers, period of service under a Reporting Officer less than three months, availing of Earned Leave/ Maternity Leave/Child Care Leave/Study Leave for more than 15 days.
• c. Leave Orders.
• d. Training Orders.
• e. In case Officer Reported Upon is on deputation, the name of Department/Organization, designation be clearly mentioned in the Annexure-I along with copy of order and joining report to the post on deputation. This is relevant only for the organization where SPARROW has been implemented and the officers of the organizations are on SPARROW.

(iii) A time schedule for various stages in writing of APAR has been prescribed in DoPT O.M. No. 21011/1/2005-Estt (A) (Pt-II) dated 23.07 .2009 and amended from time to time. This is the responsibility of the Officer Reported Upon to get the APAR initiated from the concerned Custodian , as and when required, by submitting the details as per Annexure-1. The Officer Reported Upon will submit self-appraisal within stipulated time-schedule. If the Officer Reported Upon fails to submit the self-appraisal by the stipulated date, the report will be written without self-appraisal. If no self-appraisal is received by the stipulated date, the Reporting Officer should proceed to write the report on the basis of his own experience of the work and conduct of the Officer Reported Upon. While doing so, he will also point out the failure of the Officer Reported Upon to submit his self-appraisal within the stipulated time. For changes in the time schedule, all officers will continue to check DoP&T website.

(iv) The SPARROW portal also provides status check so that the officers know where their APARs are pending as well as what are pending with them. In case, APAR of an Officer Reported Upon is not received by the Reporting Officer within prescribed time, he will intimate the same to Custodian so that the APAR of the Officer Reported Upon will be ‘Force Forwarded’ to the Reporting Officer for necessary action as envisaged in para (iii) above. This procedure will be adopted if auto-forwarded is not enabled.

(v) Reporting Officer and Reviewing Officer are required to complete the APAR as per the time schedule prescribed. In case the APAR is not initiated by the Reporting Officer for any reason within stipulated date, he/she shall forfeit his/her right to enter any remarks in the APAR of the Officer to be Reported Upon and shall submit/for ward online, all APARs held by him/her for the further action by Reviewing Officer immediately after the period has expired. Similarly, the Reviewing Officer shall also forfeit his right to enter any remarks in the APAR beyond prescribed date. At the same time failure on writing/reviewing APAR well within the prescribed date need to be viewed seriously in terms of DoPT O.M. No. 21011/02/2009-Estt. (A) dated 16.02.2009.

(vi) In case the remarks of the Reporting Officer or Reviewing Officer have not been entered in the APAR due to the concerned officer forfeiting his right to make any entry, a certificate to this effect shall be added in his APAR for the relevant period. In case both the Reporting Officer and Reviewing Officer have forfeited their rights to enter any remarks, the APAR format with the self­ appraisal given by the Officer to be Reported Upon will be placed in his APAR dossier. The case will be proceeded for NRC. Action will also be initiated regarding failure of writing/reviewing APAR on part of Reporting/ Reviewing Officer. If it is found that Reporting/ Reviewing officer, despite lapse of period for his/her comment, has given comment, it would be viewed seriously.

(vii) Whenever there is a gap in the APAR during a particular reporting period due to the reasons given below, it shall be the responsibility of the Concerned Custodian (Central/State) to generate No Report Certificate (NRC) indicating the reason(s): –

• a. Officer Reported Upon has not worked for minimum three months under a Reporting Officer ;
• b. Officer on Leave!Training during the period;
• c. Officer was on unauthorized absence;
• d. Officer under suspension ;

(viii) If APAR could not be initiated/written due to the reason other than those mentioned in para 2 (vii), it will be the responsibility of CS to Member (P) to examine the cases in detail and take necessary action with the approval of Member (Personnel).

3. Timely writing of APAR is a public duty. Any instances of delay/failure to perform this public duty as per time schedule shall be brought to the notice of the Cadre Controlling Authority for necessary action. The officer concerned shall be personally responsible for the outcome. Hence, time schedule for recording and completion of APAR at all stages should be strictly adhered to by all concerned.
4. Whenever Officer Reported Upon/ Reporting Officer is transferred and period of reporting is three months or more, it will be the responsibility of Officer Reporting Upon to submit the details as per Annexure-1 to the Custodian for generation of APAR within five days in a manner that it is received by Custodian next day. Custodian will ensure that the APAR is initiated within two days and sent to Officer Reported Upon for submission of self-appraisal. The Reporting Officer will ensure that APAR is written within two weeks of time and forwarded to Reviewing Officer, who will take action as per instructions of DoPT on the matter. The entire process will be completed within one month of time of transfer. These timelines are indicative to ensure immediate writing of APAR on transfer of Reporting Officer/Officer Reported Upon.
5. It is requested to bring this to the notice of all concerned for strict compliance of the above instructions/guidelines to ensure that APA Rs are completed in time bound manner. The APAR of all the IPoS Group ‘A’ (including all HAG and HAG+ lever officers) and MMS Group ‘A’ officers will be initiated in SPARROW Portal for the assessment year 2022-23 with exceptions given in para 6.
6.

ORDER

The Central Secretariat Service Section Officers’ Grade (Limited Departmental Competitive Examination) Regulations, 2010 provide that for being eligible to appear in the Section Officers Grade (Limited Departmental Competitive Examination), an officer of the Assistant Grade of the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) or of Personal Assistants’ Grade (Stenographer Grade ‘C’) of the Central Secretariat Stenographers Service (CSSS) possessing a Bachelor’s Degree of a recognised university or equivalent shall inter-alia, satisfy the following condition on the crucial date;

“He shall have rendered not less than five years’ approved service and shall also have, earned at least four Annual Performance Appraisal Reports in the Assistants’ Grade of the Central Secretariat Service or Personal Assistants’ Grade of Central Secretariat Stenographers Service.”

2. As per the above Regulations, the DR ASOs upto select list 2012 and Seniority quota ASO upto 2013, who have 5 years approved service and possess atleast 4 APARs are eligible to appear the SO LDCE 2018. However, due to the inter-se seniority litigations in the SSA SL of 2003 pending before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in W.P.(C)No.8616/2019 (UoI Vs Sugam Arora & Ors) and W.P. No.8454/2019 (UoI Vs Uttam Dey Sarkar and Ors)} the SL of ASOs for 2013 under seniority quota has not been finalised. Some of these SSAs of 2003 (extended list) shall be included in the ASO SL for 2013 under seniority quota after the outcome of the above WPs.

3. As a result, the SO LDCE for 2018 is on hold and the Department is unable to fill up the vacancies in Section Officer grade earmarked under LDCE quota and this is affecting the Govt. functioning. Delay in conducting the examination is also affecting the morale of the eligible DR ASOs of 2012 batch and ASOs (SO) of 2013.

4. The WPs in the matter of inter-se seniority of SSA of 2003 (extended list) are likely to be taken up in the Delhi High Court for their final decision soon. In order to expedite the process of filling up the vacancies of SO under LDCE quota, it has been decided in consultation with the UPSC to relax the following provisions stipulated in CSS SO’s Grade (LDCE) Regulations, 2010 under the powers conferred in Rule 23 of the Central Secretariat Service Rules, 2009 and the Central Secretariat Service (Amendment) Rules, 2022 to alt the SSAs of 2003 (extended list) as a onetime relaxation not to be treated as a precedent to appear in SO/PS LDCE, 2018, subject to submission of an undertaking as per the Annexure to this Order:

• (a) The provision of 5 years’ of approved service in the ASO grade.
• (b) The provision of availability of minimum 4 APARs/ACRs in the grade of ASO. From the required 4 APARs/ACRs, available APARs/ACRs in the grade of ASO and remaining APARs/ACRs from SSA Grade (the APARs upto the year 2017-18) shall be considered for the SO/PS LDCE,2018.

5. The aforesaid relaxation shall further be subject to the following conditions-

• (i) That appearing in the examination shall not confer any right on the candidate to consider his / her eligibility / selection in the examination till finalization of Common Seniority List of SSA Grade for SL-2003 (Extended) and subsequently the Select List of ASO Grade for 2013 onwards based on the final decision on the pending WPs and also on any other court case filed subsequently after final disposal of the WP by Delhi High Court.
• (ii) That final results of the examination(s) conducted by UPSC shall be declared subject to determination of final eligibility to appear in the examination after finalization of the Select List of ASOs for 2013, which will be finalized after the outcome of the decision on the pending WPs.
• (iii) That after the final outcome on the pending WPs, the Select List of ASO Grade for 2013 under seniority quota will be prepared and accordingly the officials who would have figured in the ASO SL-2013 and qualified SO/PS LDCE for 2018, their selection would be considered as valid.
• (iv) That the declaration of the results of the SO/PS LDCE for 2018 are also subject to final outcome of the SLP No. 30621/2011 and 31288/ 2017 pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India regarding ‘reservation in promotion’ and ‘own merit case’.

6. This has the approval of competent authority in DoPT and concurrence of the UPSC.

Dated the 25th March, 2021

To
The Chief Secretaries of all the States/UTs,

Sub: Auto-forwarding of PARs from the assessment year 2020-21 reg.

Mam,
I am to refer to the Gazette Notification No. G.S.R No. 519 (E) dated 23.07.2019 already communicated vide DoPT letter no. 11059/01/2016 – AIS-Ill dated 27.09.2019 vide which AIS (PAR) Amendment Rules, 2019 were notified. It may kindly be recalled that electronic recording of PAR was made mandatory from the year 2014-15 and later the provision for same was made in the AIS (PAR) Amendment Rules, 2017.

2. Though the outer limit for the recording of PAR i.e. 31st December of the assessment year in which the assessment year ends, was being followed sacrosanctly, the timelines laid down in General Guidelines for the recording of PARs by the Reporting, Reviewing, and Accepting authorities were still not being adhered to. In order to give effect to the time-bound recording of PARs, provision for auto-forwarding of PARs from one stage to the next stage after the specified due date has been introduced from the assessment year 2019-20 in SPARROW. Under the newly provided schedule for completion of PAR in respect of all levels of lAS officers, PARs will automatically move forward from the account of ORU to the Reporting authority and thereafter to the next authority on the specified date even if the PAR is not recorded by the concerned authority.
3. It may be pertinent to mention that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, auto-forwarding provision in respect of PARs for the assessment year 2019-20 was not implemented, as a one-time measure only. However, from the year 2020-21, PARs will automatically move from one level to the other after the due date, in SPARROW.
4. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly bring to the notice of all the concerned regarding auto-forwarding of PARs from this assessment year i.e. 2020-21 onwards.

Yours sincerely,
(Varsha Sinha)
Director (PR)
