The e-Office system is a key initiative under the Digital India Programme, aimed at modernizing government operations. It seeks to create a paperless environment by digitizing workflows, thereby enhancing transparency, efficiency, and responsiveness in governance. This digital transformation streamlines both internal and external government processes, moving away from traditional, time-consuming paper-based methods. The system's foundation lies in the Central Secretariat Manual of Office Procedure (CSMOP), developed by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DAR&PG).
