The Manipur government has made the e-Seba portal mandatory for key citizen services from May 11, 2026, discontinuing new applications on the old e-Services portal while continuing to process pending cases.

In a significant move towards consolidating digital governance, the Government of Manipur has notified that the newly launched e-Seba Manipur Portal will become the sole platform for accessing several key online public services. The notification, issued by the Department of Information Technology on May 4, 2026, directs citizens to transition to the new system beginning May 11.

“The newly inaugurated e-Seba Manipur Portal will be the sole platform for availing notified online services,” the official notification stated.

The directive is part of the government’s broader push to streamline digital service delivery, enhance transparency, and improve accessibility through a unified interface. Authorities emphasized that all applicants must log in and submit their applications exclusively via the e-Seba portal.

Services Covered Under the Transition

The notification outlines a set of essential services that will now be processed only through the new portal. These include both revenue-related certificates and employment exchange services.

Key Services Migrated to e-Seba Portal:

  • Domicile Certificate
  • Income Certificate
  • OBC Certificate
  • Permanent Resident Certificate
  • Scheduled Caste (SC) Certificate
  • Scheduled Tribe (ST) Certificate
  • Employment Exchange Registration & Renewal
  • Qualification/Experience Updates
  • Transfer of Registration
  • Applications against Vacancies

The consolidation of these services under one digital platform is expected to reduce procedural delays and improve service tracking for applicants.


Old Portal Discontinued for New Applications

Alongside the rollout of the e-Seba portal, the government has also announced the discontinuation of the existing e-Services portal for new submissions. From May 11 onwards, no fresh applications will be accepted through the older system.

“All new applications through the existing/old e-Services portal shall stand discontinued with effect from 11-05-2026,” the notification clarified.

However, the government has provided a transition safeguard for applicants who have already submitted requests through the previous system. Such applications will continue to be processed, but only in cases where certificate issuance remains pending or incomplete.

Officials described the move as a strategic shift towards improving governance outcomes through digital integration.

?? Key Point Box:

  • Single unified platform for multiple services
  • Mandatory usage from May 11, 2026
  • Old portal closed for new applications
  • Pending cases on old portal to be processed

The transition is expected to minimize redundancies, eliminate duplication of data, and provide a more seamless user experience. By centralizing services, the government aims to ensure better monitoring, faster approvals, and increased accountability.


Administrative Directive and Compliance

The notification, signed by Director (IT) G. Robert Sharma, calls upon all concerned departments and citizens to take note of the changes and comply accordingly. Copies of the directive have also been forwarded to senior administrative officials, including the Chief Secretary and the Secretary (IT), indicating the importance of coordinated implementation.

As Manipur advances its digital governance framework, the success of the e-Seba portal will depend on both administrative efficiency and public adaptation to the new system.
