PM for mandatory online filing of officers performance reports

New Delhi: The Centre has tweaked service rules to allow online filing of officers’ performance reports from the next fiscal. 
 
The move, which comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s directive in this regard, will help check delayed submission of employees’ confidential report which often comes as a hindrance for promotion. 
 
It has also been decided that an officer can be assessed solely on the basis of his/her overall record and self-assessment for a year if his Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) is not recorded by December 31 of the assessment year. 
 
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has written to all cadre-controlling authorities like the Home Ministry (for Indian Police Service), Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (for Indian Forest Service), Department of Public Enterprises (for central public sector enterprises) and the Department for Financial Services (for public sector banks, financial and insurance companies) in this regard.
