Community Guidelines

Promotion predictions are estimates based on a mathematical model. Do not cite CSSMitra data in official representations, court cases, or complaints. Always refer to official DoPT records.

If sharing a prediction screenshot, always include the disclaimer that this is unofficial and indicative. Sharing without context can create confusion or anxiety among colleagues.

CSSMitra data and tools are for personal use by CSS officers. Reproducing the database, building competing tools from our data, or selling access to our tools is not permitted.

Posting on CSSMitra does not change your obligations under the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964. In particular: do not criticise Government policy or the administration in a manner that violates Rule 9; do not disclose official, classified, or internal documents/information without authorisation (Rule 11 / Official Secrets Act); do not identify or make allegations against any named officer, especially in an ongoing vigilance or disciplinary matter; and maintain political neutrality (Rule 5). Post as if your Administration/Establishment Section is reading it — because they can.

Good questions: "How is CEA calculated for a child in a residential school?" or "What is the process for MACP fixation after a promotion?" Not appropriate: naming your reporting officer, discussing the specifics of your own or a colleague's vigilance/disciplinary case, or seeking a ruling on a live service dispute — for those, use your official channel or CPGRAMS.

Every post can be reported using the flag button. Posts that appear to violate Conduct Rules or these guidelines may be removed without notice. This is a community space, not a grievance-redressal or legal-advice forum, and nothing posted here should be treated as an official position of CSSMitra or the Government.
