In a move to streamline administrative processes for its vast workforce, the Uttar Pradesh government has rolled out significant enhancements to the Manav Sampada UP (eHRMS) . The 2026 updates, now live on the official website ehrms.upsdc.gov.in, introduce a fortified login system, a rapid emergency leave protocol, and expanded mobile capabilities aimed at simplifying service management for over a million state employees.
The revamped platform, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), serves as the digital backbone for personnel across key departments, including Basic Education (EDUBASIC), Medical & Health (MEDHLTH), and Police. Officials confirm the changes are designed to enhance transparency and reduce dependency on physical paperwork.
Here is a detailed look at what the 2026 updates mean for you.
Strengthened Security Protocols for 2026 Login
Accessing the portal now comes with a stricter security mandate. The government has implemented a compulsory password update policy to safeguard sensitive service data.
How to Log In Safely:
Employees must navigate directly to https://ehrms.upsdc.gov.in and select their specific department—EDUBASIC for teachers or MEDHLTH for medical personnel—using the new smart search bar to avoid access errors.
New Password Protocol:
- First-Time Users: Credentials are now standardized. The default password is the first three letters of your first name in capitals combined with the last four digits of your Aadhaar number (e.g.,
JOH5678). - Mandatory Change: Upon first login, the system will immediately prompt users to create a new, complex password featuring a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. This aligns with updated state cybersecurity directives.
Breaking Down the 2026 Emergency Leave Rule
One of the most notable introductions is the formalized emergency leave process, often referred to by officials as the Rule 19.3 Amendment. This feature provides instant relief during critical situations.
How the Fast-Track Works:
- Employees facing a genuine emergency can now select the “Medical Emergency/Unforeseen Circumstances” checkbox when applying for leave.
- The system automatically grants provisional approval for up to 96 hours.
- To finalize the leave, supporting documents—such as medical certificates or proof of the emergency—must be uploaded within five working days via the new “Regularize Emergency Leave” section on the dashboard. Failure to comply may result in the days being marked as unauthorized.
Salary Slip and Financial Access Simplified
The 2026 dashboard update has also streamlined how employees access critical financial documents.
Steps to Download Salary Slips:
- Log in and navigate to ‘Employee Services’ followed by ‘Payroll & Accounts’ .
- Select ‘View/Download Salary Slip’ .
- Choose the relevant Financial Year (e.g., 2025-26) and Month.
- Click ‘Generate’ to open the password-protected PDF, which typically unlocks using your 8-digit Employee ID or Aadhaar number.
Educator Advisory: Teachers are encouraged to review their slips for accuracy regarding Dearness Allowance, GPF subscriptions, and UAN details.
EDUBASIC Teachers Get Enhanced Digital Tools
Given that educators form the largest user group, the portal now offers specialized features for the Basic Education contingent.
- Transparent Service Books: The digital e-Service Book now includes a Verification Log, allowing teachers to see a timestamped record of every official who views their service history.
- Streamlined Transfers: The transfer module now displays real-time seniority points and district vacancies, enabling teachers to make informed choices during the application process.
- Mobile Integration: The m-STHAPANA 2.0 app has been upgraded to support biometric logins, digital ID cards, and instant push notifications for leave approvals and official orders. It is available for download on official app stores only.
Mandatory Compliance: Annual Property Returns
In a related advisory, the General Administration Department has reminded all employees that the window for filing Annual Property Returns is active. The deadline remains December 31st.
- Access Path: Dashboard → Compliance → Annual Property Returns.
- Consequence: Late filing will result in an official remark on the employee’s permanent service record, which can affect career progression.
Quick Answers to Common Queries
- Q: How do I recover a lost Employee ID?
- A: Use the “Forgot Employee ID?” feature on the login page. Authenticate using your Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

- A: First, verify you have selected the correct department (e.g., EDUBASIC). If the issue persists, use the “Forgot Password” link for an OTP-based reset.
