The Central government has extended the deadline for completing the annual performance assessment report of its officers (APAR) for 2019-20 till March next year.

In an order issued on June 11, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said, “In view of the prevailing situation, it has been decided to further extend the timelines for distribution/online generation, recording and completion of APAR for the year 2019-20 for Group ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ officers of central civil services as a one-time measure.”

Officers have now been asked to submit their self-appraisal to their reporting officer by August 31. According to a senior government official the officers have had no time to look at the appraisal process, since they are on duty in rotation in offices, and work in all ministries is focused on efforts against Covid-19.
