OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Mandatory online filing of APARs of SSS Officers — regarding.

It has been decided to make the online filing of APAR mandatory for the year 2016-17 and onwards in respect of Subordinate Statistical Services (SSS) Officers.

Mandatory online APAR system for SSS Officers would be modeled on the Smart Performance Appraisal Report Recording Online Window (SPARROW) system and would

-be rolled out for APARs pertaining to the Financial Year 2016-17 onwards.

3. For online tiling of APAR, either 'Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)' or 'eSign' of every officer is required to authenticate the documents. Here it is relevant that 'DSC'

requires a biennial renewal and has financial implication. It is, therefore, suggested that 'eSign. may be used for authentication of documents for APAR purposes. 'eSign' is more user-friendly too.

4. For 'eSign' of APAR, an NIC email and Aadhaar Number of each SSS Officer is a pre-requisite.

5. 'eSign' is an online service providing secure signing of electronic documents,

wherein any Aadhaar card holder can digitally sign an electronic document through OTP

based authentication. For OTP based authentication, the mobile number of the user should be registered with Aadhaar Number. Therefore. the current Mobile Number in use should he mapped with the Aadhaar Number of the officer.

6. In view of the above, all the officers of SSS are directed to create an email-id on NIC platform, if not already available with them and to get the Aadhaar Number, if they

are not yet registered. It is to be mentioned that the current mobile number of the user should invariably be registered with the Aadhaar Number.

• 7. Creation of email-ids on NIC platform and registration for Aadhaar Number of

SSS Officers, wherein the current Mobile Number should be registered, may be completed

before 30th November 2016.
