The Uttar Pradesh government has implemented a new online system for the annual performance appraisal reports of Group A, B, C, and D employees through the Manav Sampada Portal. This initiative, announced by M Devraj, principal secretary of the department of appointment and personnel, aims to streamline the appraisal process and enhance transparency. Under the new guidelines, employees will submit self-evaluation reports, while their respective authorities will record observations. The timeline for the 2025-26 reporting year is strictly defined: self-assessments for Group A and C employees are due by May 31, 2025, while comments from reporting authorities must be submitted by July 31, 2025. Employees will have the opportunity to contest any adverse remarks until February 15, 2027, with a final decision by March 31, 2027. The system will automatically forward reports if authorities do not meet deadlines, and no extensions will be granted. Additionally, the government is digitizing compassionate appointments for dependents of deceased employees to ensure timely processing and transparency.
