CS division of DOPT has found out discrepancies in ACRs / APARs of CSS officers when those are sent by various Ministries / Departments. This results in inordinate delay in the completion of ACR/APARs of individual officers.
To avoid discrepancies in APARs DOPT has prescribed a check list to be filled up by the Ministries sending the APARs.
The following Office Memorandum prescribes this check list.

Subject: Forwarding of ACRs/APARs of CSS Officers to DOPT- Reg.
The undersigned is directed to say the discrepancies have often been noticed in the ACRs/APARs of CSS officers received in the CS Division of DOPT from the Ministries/Departments. Such incomplete and inaccurate ACRS/APARs are required to be sent back to the respective Ministries/Departments for rectification of deficiencies resulting in unwanted delay in completion of ACRSs/APARs of the officer concerned.
In order to avoid unnecessary correspondence and delay a check-list for the convenience of the participating Ministries/Departments has been prepared a copy of which is enclosed. The Check-list is not exhaustive, but is aimed at facilitating the Ministies/Departments to check at their end the frequently noticed inconsistencies before forwarding the ACRs/APARs to DOPT.
It is once again reiterated that the instructions issued by the establishment Division of this Department from time to time on preparation and maintenance of ACRs/APARs may be adhered to and it may be ensured by the officer authorized in the Ministries/Departments that the ACRs/APARs forwarded to the DOPT are complete in all respects.
