As per the DC, performance below average will result in issuance of a yellow card, while no significant improvement will lead to a red card that will be recorded in their annual confidential report (ACR).

Yellow card means warning, while the red card indicates an official show-cause notice to employees.

The DC directed revenue officers to maintain punctuality and disclose their availability outside the office, especially for those holding additional charges. She further instructed them to expedite court proceedings, ensuring that all cases older than one year should be decided by August 15 and those pending for over six months must be resolved by September 15. Officers demonstrating good performance will receive appreciation.

Jan set ambitious targets for reducing mutation pending cases and resolving all remaining pending cases. She highlighted significant progress in demarcation case resolution, with all cases being disposed of within the designated timeline. She urged officers to maintain efficiency in handling demarcation cases and reject applications where the demarcation is not feasible due to crop sowing.
