Stage – I of the Peer Review Process was implemented w.e.f. 1st April, 2003. Database of Practice Units (PUs) has been developed by means of (a) calling mandatory declarations from PUs; (b) collecting data from the regulatory authorities like C&AG, RBI, CMIE etc. A list of PUs which fall under various categories of Stage – I of Peer Review has been already hosted on the Institute’s website.

With a view to ensure objectivity in selection of Practice Units, PUs have been selected through computerised random sample basis, based on globally acceptable software developed for this purpose. As a result of the computerised random selection, 231 PUs and 298 PUs which fall under various categories of Stage I of Peer Review were selected for undergoing the Peer Review on 2.01.2004 (Phase I) and 23.09.2004 (Phase II) respectively. These lists have already been hosted on the Institute’s website.

Out of 1012 PUs covered under Stage I, 529 PUs have already been selected (Phases I & II) and remaining are 483 PUs. Enclosed is the list of balance 480 PUs, which fall under various categories of Stage I of Peer Review, which have been selected for undergoing Peer review under Phase III. 3 PUs have been voluntarily covered in Phase I.
