The e-HRMS (Electronic Human Resource Management System) portal is the official digital platform used by government departments in India to manage employee records, service books, leave, salary details, and other HR services. If you are a government employee and trying to log in for the first time—or facing login issues—this guide will walk you through the process clearly.
The exact e-HRMS website depends on whether you are a Central Government employee, a State Government employee, or part of a specific department. While the portals look slightly different, the login process is mostly the same.
Who Uses the e-HRMS Portal?
The e-HRMS system is mainly used by:
- Central Government employees
- State Government employees
- PSU and department-level staff
- DDOs, Establishment Clerks, and Admin officers
It is officially managed under departments of the Government of India and respective State Governments.

Step-by-Step Login Process
Step 1: Open the website and click on “Login” (usually at the top right).
Step 2: Enter your Username, which is usually:

2. How to Login to e-HRMS for State Government Employees
Each Indian state has its own e-HRMS portal, usually hosted on a state data center or NIC infrastructure. The portal format is often:
ehrms.[statename].gov.in

For example, Uttar Pradesh employees use Manav Sampada, which is the official HRMS platform for the state.
