Introduction of e-Engagement Roll for Gramin Dak Sevaks. It has been decided to develop an e-Engagement Roll for streamlining the upkeep and maintenance of service records of Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS). For this a portal will be developed by CEPT as part of the HRMS module under IT 2.0. 2. The e-Engagement Roll will serve as theofficial engagement record for all GDS and will be maintained by the concerned Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO). It will comprehensively cover all major service-related events such as engagement, transfer, leave, disciplinary action, financial upgradation, TRCA revision, and final discharge. 3. The initial e-Engagement Roll for all existing and new GDS will be prepared by the respective Engaging Authority (EA). For existing GDS as on the date of introduction the same will be prepared on the basis of available service records, in a phased manner within six months. Each Division will ensure data entry and uploading of relevant documents for at least 15% of the total working GDS strength per month, so as to complete the process within six months from its introduction. Upon completion of data entry, the roll will be transferred to the concerned DDO for subsequent maintenance. For GDS engaged on or after 01.04.2026, their e- Engagement Roll will be prepared directly by the Engaging Authority in the portal and maintained thereafter by the concerned DDO. 4. The e-Engagement Roll is proposed to be rolled out across all Circles by 01.04.2026, after completion of development and testing by CEPT. A detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and training sessions will be provided to all concerned users prior to implementation. 5.
