Delay in assessment of apar by reviewing authority.

Namaste sirs/mams,
I need your kind guidance regarding above mentioned subject.
I submitted my apar 2019-20 after self assessment on September 2020 and then my reporting officer assessed and forwarded it on October 2020. After that it has been showing as PENDING at reviewing officer's end.
On contacting he told me that no APAR is pending at his end and while APAR administration has been claiming that they haven't received the said APAR from him yet.
1. What should i do?
2. Will delayed or non reviewed APAR be considered in DPCs?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a significant delay in the APAR assessment process for the 2019-20 period. The user's APAR was self-assessed and forwarded by their reporting officer in late 2020, but it has since been stuck pending with the reviewing officer. Both the reviewing officer and APAR administration claim the other party holds the document, causing confusion and concern. The user is seeking guidance on how to proceed and whether a delayed or unreviewed APAR will impact Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) considerations and potential promotions.
