The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has issued advisories for a hybrid work model, authorising "Work From Home" (WFH) for some employees for up to two days per week, while mandating at least 50% staff presence in offices.
Under an Office Memorandum issued from Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan, Janpath, New Delhi, the government has permitted limited Work From Home (WFH) for staff under the Capacity Building Commission (CBC).
These instructions, which encourage online meetings and virtual collaboration to maintain operational continuity, will remain in effect until further notice.

Pillar Heads have been instructed to prepare a roster allowing WFH for up to two days per week, while ensuring that at least 50% of employees remain present in office at all times.
The memorandum further directs that employees working from home must remain accessible on telephone and be prepared to report to office at short notice if required. It also emphasises that all assigned tasks must be completed within deadlines while maintaining operational efficiency.
In a key administrative decision, the order restricts the organisation of physical meetings, workshops, and events both within and outside Delhi. Officials have been advised to conduct all meetings through video conferencing or online platforms wherever possible to minimise physical travel and gatherings.
The instructions also discourage non-essential official travel outside Delhi until further notice. Any deviation from these guidelines on functional grounds will require prior approval from the Secretary, Capacity Building Commission.
