Status of implementation of the biometric attendance system for CG employees

The Government has decided to use an AADHAR Enabled Bio-metric Attendance System (AEBAS) in all offices of the Central Government, including attached / sub-ordinate Offices, in India. There is no change in the instructions relating to office hours, late attendance etc. Biometric attendance system is only an enabling platform.

As per the available information, there is a difference between the number of registered employees and number of employees marking their attendance. This Department has issued fresh instructions to all Ministries that necessary directions may be issued to all employees to mark their attendance in the Biometric Attendance Portal on regular basis.
