Jammu, Feb 28 : The Jammu and Kashmir Government has extended the timeline for submission of Annual Property Returns for the year 2025 through the online Property Return System (PRS) Portal.
The notification issued by GAD-JK, as per news agency Kashmir News Corner — KNC states, all government employees had initially been directed to file their property returns from January 1, 2026 to January 31, 2026 on the PRS portal (https://prs.jk.gov.in).
The deadline was earlier extended for 15 days from February 5, 2026 to February 19, 2026, through a separate notification dated February 5, 2026.
However, the department observed that several employees failed to submit their Property Returns within the prescribed timeframe, resulting in default of this mandatory requirement.
It was further noted that some employees registered on the portal but did not complete the submission process, thereby also defaulting in filing their returns.
The notification states that non-submission or failure to file Property Returns attracts punitive action under the provisions of the Jammu and Kashmir Public Men and Public Servants Declaration of Assets Act and the Rules framed thereunder.
It also warns that defaulting employees shall be deemed to have committed criminal misconduct under the Prevention of Corruption Act and may face penalties as per the Act.
Additionally, non-filing of property returns will result in denial of vigilance clearance to the concerned employees.
After considering the matter, the General Administration Department has decided to grant a last and final opportunity to defaulting employees.
Accordingly, the timeline for submission of Property Returns through online mode on the PRS portal has been further extended by 15 days from the date of issuance of the notification.
The notification further advises employees facing OTP-related issues to update their current mobile numbers and email IDs on the CPIS portal.
For any other technical assistance, employees have been directed to contact [email protected] for redressal.
The department has also enjoined upon all Controlling Officers and Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs) to ensure strict compliance regarding filing of Property Returns by employees under their establishments.
All Administrative Departments have been asked to furnish details of employees under their control who fail to submit their Annual Property Returns for the year 2025 through the PRS portal after expiry of the extended deadline. (KNC)
