A summary of the searches performed by the CMS experiment on t he 8 TeV LHC data for direct production of additional scalars and pseudo-scalar neutra l bosons with masses below the higgs boson h 125 is presented. These searches are motivated by the predictio ns of several BSM theories, most significantly extensions of the non minimal extensions of the MSSM like the NMSSM, where additional scalar and pseudo-scalar states are expec ted. The mass range from 350 MeV to 110 GeV is explored with different final states. The curren t status and the extension of these searches to the run-II of the LHC are described.
