Reporting Officer (RO) by July 20 and countersigning officer (CO) by July 3”, according to a letter available with Customs Today.
“It has been observed that despite repeated reminders/instructions issued from time to time PERs for the year 2016 as well as PERs of previous years of various officers have not been received. It is informed that in the absence of up-to-date PERs the performance evaluation of officers due for promotion, mandatory trainings for promotion or posting abroad etc. cannot be properly judged and such cases are thus considerably delayed for want of up-to-date PERs record.
It is requested that all the concerned officers may be directed to furnish their PERs forms to the concerned RO/CO duly completed upto Part-I and II thereof under intimation to the Board. The ROs/Cos may be also requested to initiate/consider PERs and send the same to the Board as per above schedule”, the letter added.
