Sir / Madam,
I am directed to refer to the relevant provisions for recording of PAR under AIS (PAR) Rules, 2007 as amended from time to time. In this regard, reference is invited to the difficulties being faced by the AIS officers in submitting self-appraisal/ recording of PAR for year 2023-24, due to their engagement in ongoing Lok Sabha Election 2024.

| Self Appraisal for current year | 31st May, 2024 | 30th June, 2024 |
| Appraisal by Reporting Authority | 31st July, 2024 | 31st August, 2024 |
| Appraisal by Reviewing Authority | 30th September, 2024 | 31st October, 2024 |
