OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Request for updation of the vigilance status in Web Based Cadre Management System in respect of CSSS officers – instructions for Nodal Officers – regarding.
The undersigned is directed to say that the Web Based Cadre Management System is functional since 2012. It is enabled to capture the data of all CSSS officers relating to their date of joining, address, posting, promotions, training etc.
For effective and efficient cadre management, it is necessary that the data of all officers be available on real time basis. In absence of complete data, CSCMS portal cannot be fully relied upon for processing cases related to Rotational Transfer, Promotion, Voluntary Retirement etc. It is seen that at the time of promotions, the cases gets delayed for want of updation of vigilance status of officers in the zone of consideration. Hence, it has been decided to strengthen the Vigilance Information System (VIS).
