All departments under the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) have been directed to transition from traditional paper-based work to an electronic system by incorporating the e-Office system. The directive was issued on February 16, that the departments must implement the system by March 15 or face disciplinary action under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act.

e-Office is an initiative by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. It aims to enable officials to create, process, move, and store files digitally, reducing delays and improving efficiency. Designed to replace the traditional paper-based office system in government offices, including municipal corporations across the country, it also ensures tamper-proof digital documentation, promotes environment-friendly governance by reducing paper usage and facilitates real-time tracking of files.
