Subject: Instructions on communication through eMail.

It is observed that official communications are being exchanged through email on commercial domains viz., gmail, yahoo etc instead of through email id on NIC domain. In this context, instructions have been issued vide this HQrs Office letter No.Mech/IT&S/ 148/LPT/Internet/Vol.III dated 13.06.2017 (https://cgda.nic.in/adm/circular/IT&S-LPT-130617.pdf) to use NIC domain only for sharing official communication and not to use other commercial domains. Exchanging official communication through email ids on NIC domain ensures that the communications are safe from cyber attacks.

In case any office does not have email id on NIC domain, requests for creation of new email id may be sent through respective PCsDA/CsDA and/or PIFAs / IFAs on “nicmailapp[dot]dad” available on DAD WAN, with the relevant particulars of officer (Administrator) responsible for operating the email i.e., name, designation, date of birth, mobile no. etc.
