SUBJECT:             COUNSELLING REGARDING TIMELY SUBMISSIONS AND COMPLIANCE

                              I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to take this opportunity to address a matter of utmost importance that has come to my attention regarding delayed submissions from your end to the higher office.

                              I wish to emphasize the importance of TIMELY SUBMISSIONS and ADHERENCE TO DEADLINES. Allow me to cite a few examples for clarity:

1.            Letter No. 8009-14/G-I dated 25th February 2025 (copy enclosed) had a clear deadline of 14^th March 2025. Unfortunately, none of the DECS took the matter seriously and the submission was delayed.

2.            The data requested vide Letter No. 16/PA-DPIC/T-25 dated 6^th February 2025, with a deadline of 12^th February 2025, was also not complied until 13^th March 2025.

                              These delays are unacceptable and create inefficiencies that undermine the credibility and functionality of our office. Timely submissions are the foundation of effective administration and field operations. You are advised to take immediate corrective action to ensure timely submissions. We expect that this will be the last instance of such delays, and that you will prioritize prompt and accurate compliance to all communications from the higher office.

                              Please understand that the world is becoming increasingly competitive, and only those who adhere to deadlines and demonstrate capability will continue to succeed in such a demanding environment. I urge you to respect your core responsibilities and fulfill your duties efficiently.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
