The J&K government warned that manual submission of Personnel Verification Rolls (PVR) of selected candidates, for verification of character and antecedents will not be entertained under any circumstances after June 1, 2022.

Directing the Administrative Secretaries to implement the instructions in letter and spirit, it also cautioned that the CID verification should not be delayed beyond one month, in any case.

Through a circular, the Principal Secretary GAD Manoj Kumar Dwivedi ordered that the Personnel Verification Rolls (PVR) of all candidates would be submitted only through the online mode to the Criminal Investigation Department Headquarters for verification.
