This office memorandum from the Department of Personnel & Training reiterates the compulsory use of the web-based Cadre Management System (CMS) – hosted at cscms.nic.in – for managing the Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APARs) of CSS officers. It addresses the issue of Ministries/Departments continuing to submit APARs to DOPT in hard copy without proper CMS entries or scanned document uploads, which is causing bottlenecks. The memorandum emphasizes that all future APAR submissions, even in hard copy, must have corresponding entries in the CMS with attached scanned documents. It references previous office memorandums on the same subject.

The undersigned is directed to invite attention of all the Cadre Units to this Department’s Office Memorandum No. 21/1/2014-CS.I (PR/CMS) dated 10.07.14 \& OM of even number dated $22.04 .13,07.05 .13,29.08 .13$ and 09.06 .14 and to request to make use of web-based software solution hosted at cscms.nic.in for cadre management of CSS of which APAR Monitoring System is an important component. The Nodal Officers in Ministries/Departments were requested to ensure smooth participation in web-based cadre management system.
2. It is observed that in spite of repeated requests Ministries/Departments have been sending the APARs to DOPT without making proper entries or without uploading the scanned documents. The absence of proper participation in the CMS has resulted bottleneck in smooth functioning of CS.I Division. It is, therefore, reiterated that the web-based cadre management system is compulsory for furnishing copies of ACRs/APARs of officers. This may be noted and for any future transmission of ACR/APAR in hard copy it may be ensured that the same has been entered into the CMS with proper entries attached with scanned documents.
