Railways warns staff of fake HRMS sites

New Delhi: The Railway Ministry has cautioned its employees about fake websites imitating its online Human Resource Management System (HRMS), which maintains essential service records and personal data of staff in digital format.

"Recently, reports of certain fake websites resembling that of Indian Railway HRMS (Human Resource Management System) have been received in the office of the Railway Board, wherein it has been noted that a number of HRMS beneficiaries have shared their login credentials (HRMS ID and password) on these fake websites," said a ministry circular dated August 4, 2025.

The ministry has directed the principal chief personnel officers of all railway zones to sensitise employees and ensure they use only the official URL for accessing the HRMS platform.

"No other URL should be used under any circumstance to log into the HRMS system, nor should any HRMS-related credentials be shared on fake websites," the circular stated.
