CAP Policy

Each of the content component is accompanied by metadata, source and validity date. For some of the components the validity date may not be known i.e., the content is stated to be perpetual. Under this scenario, the validity date should be ten years hence. Under no circumstances, any content is to be displayed on the Website after the validity date.
For few of the components like announcements, tenders, job details, only the live content whose validity date is after the current date is shown on the Website. For other components like documents, schemes, services, forms, websites and contact directory there is a need for timely review of the same as per the CMAP.
For the retrieval of content which has expired, there is a need to archive the content. Government Websites, Forms, Services etc. which are discontinued should be expunged. Content Archival Mechanism is in place to ensure that all outdated website URLs are removed from the website and moved to archive. Programmes and Schemes which are discontinued should be archived. The content Element on the Website has different Entry/Exit Policy and Archival Policy as enlisted below.
