acceptance of APAR for the year 2017-18 through SPARROW web portal. The
revised target dates for recording of APAR online for the year 2017-18 is
enclosed as Annexure. This relaxation is subject to the condition
that no remarks shall be recorded in the APAR for the year 2017-18 after
31.12.2018. Where the reporting, reviewing and accepting authority fail to
record their comments within the time frame, the officer may be assessed on
the basis of the overall record and self assessment for the year, if he has
submitted his self-assessment within the stipulated time.
