What Is the J&K Digital Promotion Portal?
The Jammu & Kashmir Digital Promotion Portal is an online system designed to manage the entire Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) process electronically. Instead of moving physical files from one office to another, all records, service details, and promotion-related documents will be processed digitally.
This portal is being developed under the supervision of the J&K Administration with support from NIC and the ARI & Trainings Department, as part of the broader Digital Governance and e-Office reforms.
Why Was This Portal Needed?
For years, government employees in Jammu & Kashmir faced serious issues in promotions such as:
Delay in DPC meetings
Missing or misplaced files
Manual verification of service records
Lack of transparency
Repeated movement of files between offices
Mental stress and uncertainty for employees
Many employees waited years beyond their due promotion dates. The new portal directly addresses these problems.
Key Features of the J&K Promotion Portal

All stages of the promotion process — from eligibility verification to final approval — will be conducted online.
2. Uploading of Service Records
Departments can upload:
Service books
Seniority lists
Recruitment rules
ACRs / APARs
Vigilance clearance
Integrity certificates
3. Integration with HRMS & e-Office
The portal is integrated with existing HRMS and e-Office platforms, ensuring accuracy and seamless data flow.
4. Real-Time Tracking System
