In a move that has sparked concern within the Provincial Civil Services (PCS) cadre in Uttar Pradesh, the Annual Confidential Report (ACR) submission of nearly 200 PCS officers has been missed due to administrative work arrangements.
While the deadline for submitting ACRs online was May 31, 2025, the Appointment Department has not extended it for PCS officers. This is in sharp contrast to IAS officers and other government personnel, who have been given additional time to complete their ACR submissions.
The selective approach has raised questions among the PCS fraternity—why are PCS officers being denied a second chance when other services have been granted leniency?
