Delhi's Digital Transformation: E-Office Implementation Across Government Bodies

The Delhi government is transitioning departments to a digital e-office system by month's end. This move divides departments into categories and requires pure government departments to switch by May 31. Initially approved in 2015, the e-office facilitates digital file submission, approvals, and document signing, with support from a centralised facilitation centre.

The Delhi government will soon transition to a digital e-office system, as per directives issued to various departments. By the end of the month, these departments must implement the system, streamlining file submission and approvals.

An official order outlines that the e-office will be divided into three categories: pure government department, PSU or autonomous body, and academic institution. This division aligns with updated guidelines from the National Informatics Centre (NIC).

The e-office initiative was first approved by the Delhi Cabinet in 2015. It propels the digitisation of document approvals, with a mandatory switch for pure government departments by May 31. A centralised facilitation centre at the Delhi Secretariat has been established to assist with the transition.
