The Central Government employees are marking
their attendance in the Aadhar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS).
There is a difference between the number of registered employees and number of
employees marking their attendance. The Department of Personnel & Training
has issued fresh instructions to all Ministries/ Departments on 28.01.2015 that
necessary directions may be issued to all employees to mark their attendance in
the Biometric Attendance Portal on regular basis.
Biometric attendance system is an enabling
platform for marking of attendance. There is no change in the instructions
relating to office hours, late attendance etc. There is no proposal to
introduce an alternative system.
This was stated by the Minister of State for
Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in Prime
Minister’s office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri
Dushyant Chautala in the Lok Sabha today.
