The phase-1 of NIC e-office execution started with a mandate to complete the work by March 2020.

NIC e-Office is a cloud enabled software developed by National Informatics centre (NIC) that is being deployed from RailTel Tier III certified data centres at Secundrabad and Gurgaon. It is based on Central Secretariat Manual of e-Office Procedure (CSMeOP). Currently 4 modules - File Management System (eFile), Knowledge Management System (KMS), Collaboration & Messaging Services (CAMS) & Personnel Information Management System (PIMS) are the parts of the e-office system being implemented.

 

 

 

E-Office fosters paperless culture which will not only save operational cost but also reduce the carbon footprint which is one of the most urgent needs of the world and directly impacting every citizen of the country.
