The move aims at strengthening digital governance and improving efficiency, officials said. 

The eOffice platform, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), is currently being used as a unified system across all departments under the Government of NCT of Delhi (GNCTD). Officials said the restructuring is intended to enhance system performance, scalability, and data security.

Under the exercise, two new dedicated eOffice platforms will be created — one for PSUs, autonomous and local bodies and one for universities and academic institutions, the advisory read.

The existing platform will continue to serve core government departments. Each category will operate on its own independent digital infrastructure after the transition.

The Department of Information Technology (DIT) will handle the technical work of splitting the system and migrating existing data to the new platforms, officials said, adding that the move is expected to reduce system congestion.

The eOffice services will remain temporarily unavailable during the transition period. Departments, PSUs, and academic institutions have been advised to complete urgent work before 6:00 pm on April 10.

Services will resume on April 13, while the platforms for PSUs and local bodies will go live on April 15, and those for academic institutions on April 17, the advisory added.
