With Pluto now regarded as a dwarf planet, the answer is Neptune. There are times when Pluto's orbit takes it inside Neptune for about 20 years at a time out of its 248 year orbit, as it did from 1979 to 1999. So even when Pluto was considered a planet, it wasn't always the furthest away from the Sun.

What is the outermost planet till march 1999?

In our solar system the outermost planet 'til March 1999 was considered the same as the outermost planet after March 1999 - it was Pluto. In 2006, the IAU reclassified Pluto as a minor or dwarf planet and no longer a true planet - this demotion meaning Neptune would thereafter be considered the outermost planet in our solar system. It is of course possible there is a planet out there not yet discovered, which is in solar orbit, and large enough, in which case its distance might qualify it as 'outermost'.
