NIC has been requested to develop a common software for all Ministries/cadre units, which shall be made available in due course of time.

As soon as the relevant software is made available, CS Division will move ahead for computerisation, so that in future, data on APARs of CSS Officers shall be made available with a click of a button to the authorised users. In order to speed up such a process all cadre units may furnish to CS Division the details of nodal officers in their respective Ministries/Departments alongwith their address, phone numbers, e-mail IDs etc. who are currently responsible for keeping a watch on the progress of the completion of ACRs/APARs. The officers so identified (not below the rank of Under Secretary) shall be provided with usernames and passwords to enable them to operate the APARs software of DO P&T.
