By Santosh Kumar HRMS Odisha is the official online human resource platform for employees of the Government of Odisha. It is an initiative of the Centre for Modernizing Government Initiative under the General Administration and Public Grievance Department.
The system carries out personnel transactions through the internet and works as a central repository of employee service records. An employee’s Service Book forms the foundation of the database because it contains appointment details, postings, promotions, pay changes and other service events.
HRMS also maintains records such as the Service Book, Leave Account, Loan Account, Salary Account and Incumbency Chart. Past transactions may be entered as legacy records, while later transactions are recorded digitally.

Key Features of HRMS Odisha
1. e-Service Book
The e-Service Book contains the employee’s career history, including appointment date, designation, office, posting history, promotions and increments.
Employees can review their information and request correction when details are missing or incorrect. Such requests are examined by the Drawing and Disbursing Officer, or DDO, or an authorised establishment official.
2. Leave Management
Employees can apply for leave online and send the request to the competent authority. Approved transactions update the employee’s Leave Account.
The concerned authority can examine the application and provide an approval, rejection or response through the online system.
3. Salary and Payslip Records
HRMS maintains salary-related information and supports payroll administration. Depending on the permissions available, employees may view salary records and monthly payslip details after logging into their accounts.
The platform also helps authorised offices prepare and maintain employee salary accounts.
4. Loan Account
Employees can submit eligible loan or advance-related requests through HRMS. The system records sanctioned amounts, repayments, recoveries and official adjustments in the employee’s Loan Account.
5. Performance Appraisal
HRMS supports electronic performance appraisal for eligible government officers. Employees can submit appraisal information online, while reporting and reviewing authorities process it through the portal.
This reduces the movement of physical appraisal files between departments and offices. The portal also publishes notifications connected with e-PAR processing and deadlines.
6. Online Property Statement
Eligible employees and officers can submit annual property statements through HRMS according to government instructions and notified deadlines.
Property-return information can be searched according to the financial year, employee details, office, department or cadre.
7. Transfers and Promotions
Authorised authorities can record transfer, promotion and deputation orders through the HRMS platform. These transactions become part of the employee’s digital service history.
This helps departments maintain updated records without depending entirely on separate physical registers.
8. Requests and Grievances
Employees can submit service-related reports, requests and grievances online. The concerned office can examine the matter and provide a sanction, rejection or reply through HRMS.
Employees facing technical problems can also raise an online support ticket after logging into their HRMS account.
9. Pension Processing
HRMS helps retiring employees prepare pension papers using available service records. It also helps authorities process retirement cases because important employment information is already stored digitally.
Accurate and updated service records can reduce repeated data entry during pension preparation and verification.
