The old E-Nidhi portal link many bookmarks still point to no longer works as the main system — since January 2025, everything has moved to E-Nidhi V2 (CFMS 2.0). If you’re seeing a “Your connection is not private” warning on the old URL, that’s expected; the fix is simple, but using the correct address from the start saves the confusion entirely.
CFMS (Comprehensive Financial Management System) — developed by the Finance Department, Government of Bihar, for pay bill generation and salary management of all Bihar government employees. It’s commonly known by its colloquial name, E-Nidhi — both terms refer to the same system.
Official Portal (Current, V2): e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in
Quick Answer: Salary Slip: e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in → Login (Username + Password + OTP) → “Pay Bill – Monthly Regular Salary Bill” → select Department/Year/Month → Download CFMS = E-Nidhi — same system, two names Old portal (e-nidhi.bihar.gov.in) is retired — use V2 only Teachers: Use e-Shikshakosh instead — see note below
⭐ Old Portal Retired — Use E-Nidhi V2
The original E-Nidhi portal is no longer the active system. Since January 2025, all functions — salary slips, bill processing, employee records — have moved to E-Nidhi V2 / CFMS 2.0 at e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in.
If you see a “Your connection is not private” browser warning on an old bookmarked link:
Step 1: Click “Advanced” below the warning
Step 2: Click “Proceed to [site] (unsafe)” — only if you’re certain you’re on the genuine domain
Better still: skip the old link entirely and go directly to e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in.
⭐ CFMS/E-Nidhi vs HRMS Bihar vs e-Shikshakosh — Don’t Mix Them Up
| System | Who It’s For | What It Handles |
|---|---|---|
| CFMS / E-Nidhi (this guide) | All Bihar government employees | Pay bill generation, monthly/annual salary slips |
| HRMS Bihar (hrms.bihar.gov.in) | All government employees | Broader personnel and service records — separate portal, separate login |
| e-Shikshakosh | Teachers and education department staff specifically | Teacher-specific salary and service records |
If you’re a teacher, your salary access is most likely through e-Shikshakosh, not this CFMS/E-Nidhi system. Trying to log in here with teacher credentials typically won’t work — the systems are separate. (We’re covering the dedicated teacher-specific eShikshakosh salary slip process in a separate guide, given how distinct that workflow is.)
Login — Step by Step
Step 1: Visit e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in
Step 2: Enter your Username and Password
Step 3: ⭐ Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number — this 2-Factor Authentication step is now mandatory
Step 4: Access your employee dashboard
Login credentials are provided by your department/head office — there’s typically no public self-registration option.
Downloading Your Salary Slip
Step 1: After login, select “Pay Bill – Monthly Regular Salary Bill”
Step 2: Choose your Head of Account, Year, and Month
Step 3: Review the displayed details — Employee info, Earning details, Bill Reference Number, Gross Earning, Deductions
Step 4: Select Salary Statement for monthly or annual format
Step 5: Print or Save as PDF
You can typically access the last 3-6 months, or full annual statements. These slips are accepted as income proof for home loans, vehicle loans, and personal loans.
Other Features on CFMS 2.0
- Employee Maintenance & Allocation
- Annual Salary Increment (automated updates)
- Promotion and Service History

Security Best Practices
- Always use the official e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in address — verify the URL before entering credentials
- Never share your password, even with colleagues
- Avoid clicking E-Nidhi-related links from unknown messages or emails
- Change your password periodically
- Always log out after use, especially on shared/department computers
Common Problems + Fix
“Old E-Nidhi link doesn’t work / shows security warning”: The original portal is retired. Use e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in directly going forward.
“Login now asks for OTP, didn’t before”: This is a newly mandatory 2-Factor Authentication step — enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile to proceed.
“I’m a teacher and can’t find my salary records here”: Teacher salary/service data is managed through e-Shikshakosh, a separate system — not CFMS/E-Nidhi.
“Confused between HRMS Bihar and CFMS/E-Nidhi”: HRMS handles broader personnel/service records; CFMS/E-Nidhi specifically handles pay bill generation and salary slips. They’re separate portals with separate logins.
“Salary slip shows incorrect details”: Contact your DDO or accounts section immediately for verification and correction — don’t wait for the next pay cycle to raise this.

Official Links
| Purpose | Link |
|---|---|
| CFMS / E-Nidhi (Current, V2) | e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in |
| HRMS Bihar | hrms.bihar.gov.in |
| e-Shikshakosh (Teachers) | eshikshakosh.bihar.gov.in |
Knowing upfront which of Bihar’s three separate employee systems actually holds your records — CFMS/E-Nidhi, HRMS, or e-Shikshakosh — saves the most common source of login frustration before it even starts.
If you’re a Bihar government employee needing your salary slip, go directly to e-nidhi-v2.bihar.gov.in (skip any old bookmarked link), and if you’re a teacher, head to e-Shikshakosh instead — these are genuinely separate systems.
