Towards application of 5-T principle in human resource management, Chief Secretary Suresh Mahapatra has directed all departments and district administrations to update the e-service books of all Government employees by November 30.
He gave the direction while reviewing the progress of the work at a high-level meeting. He said the e-service book would facilitate quick and transparent delivery of pension benefits to the retiring employees.
The departments and the districts were asked to adhere to the date, failing which salary of the concerned employees including the nodal officers might be withheld after December.
Review showed that many departments have completed updating of the e-service books of around 95% employees and many districts have completed more than 92% of the work. Other departments and districts were in different phases of the e-service book implementation.
