Karnataka Mandates Online APAR and Property Returns From August 2026

The Story in Brief

Karnataka will require all state government officers and employees to submit Annual Performance Appraisal Reports and Immovable Property Returns through the State’s e-PAR Application from 20 August 2026. The Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms has added an IPR Module for annual assets and liabilities statements.

Employees must submit their 2025-26 returns through the application. In later years, filings must be completed before the end of March. The National Informatics Centre developed the system using a platform for All India Services officers. The filing format remains unchanged from the 1994 memorandum. Departments will receive and verify submissions.

The Indian Opinion

Online filing may reduce paperwork and make submissions easier to track. However, details about verification timelines, data protection and help for employees facing technical problems remain limited. Claims that the system will automatically improve speed or transparency should be treated cautiously. Its results will depend on reliable access, clear support and proper departmental oversight during implementation.
