The Central government mandates the implementation of digital service books for all ministries and departments, replacing paper-based records.
Employee data will now be securely stored online through the e-HRMS 2.0 portal, becoming the primary legally valid record.
The new system aims to streamline employee record-keeping, enhance transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency.
This digital transformation aligns with the Government's Digital India initiative, accompanying recent reforms benefiting Central government employees and pensioners.
