No. 3/4/2019-EO(PR)
Dated the 24 April, 2023
Dear Sir/Madam,
I may kindly be recalled that electronic recording of PAR was made mandatory from the year
2014-15 and the provision for same was incorporated in the AIS(PAR) Amendment Rules, 2017. Later
vide Notification dated 23.07.2019, the AIS(PAR) Amendment Rules, 2019 were notified which, inter-alia,
introduced auto-forwarding of PARs from one level to next level.
- 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 a specified due date has been introduced from the assessment
year 2019-20 in SPARROW. -
It is reiterated that once the PAR gets closed on the midnight of 31st December, it gets auto-
forwarded in the online dossier of the ORU and is treated as deemed disclosure. In cases, where the PAR
could not be uploaded on to the system by the midnight of 31st December and is physically disclosed, the
number of days for having comments of the ORU on the PAR is counted from the date on which the PAR
has been physically disclosed. -
The State Governments vide D.O. letter dated 06.05.2022 were informed that auto-forwarding
provision in respect of PARs for the assessment year from 2021-22 and onwards would be implemented.
However, queries from various State Governments/Ministries are still being received regarding timelines
to be followed for the period 2022-2023. In this regard, it is stated that timelines for the current
assessment year 2022-2023 are same as mentioned in AIS(PAR) Amendment Rules, 2019:
| Activity | Due Date | Auto Forwarding Date |
| — | — | — |
| Blank PAR form to be given to the officer reported upon by
the Administration Division/Personnel Department,
specifying the reporting officer and Reviewing Authority | 1st April | — |
| Self appraisal for current year | 31st May | 1st June |
| Appraisal by Reporting Authority | 31st July | 1st August |
| Appraisal by Reviewing Authority | 30th September | 1st October |
| Appraisal by Accepting Authority | 31st December | Auto closure on
31st December |
| Disclosure to the officer reported upon | 31st December | — |
- In view of the above, it is requested to direct the concerned authorities to ensure that the afore-
said timelines are strictly adhered to failing which PAR will get auto-forwarded to the next level.
With regards,
Yours Sincerely
(Deepti Umashankar)
