Sub: Introduction of AADHAR enabled bio-metric attendance system.
The undersigned is directed to refer to Secretary, DEITY’s DO letter no. SSD/DeitY/BAS/2014-74 dated 23.12.2014 (copy enclosed), observing that in many offices there is a large difference between the number of registered employees and the number of employees marking their attendance in the Biometric attendance system (BAS). The Secretaries of all Ministries / Departments have been requested to issue directions to all employees to mark their attendance in BAS Portal on regular basis.
2. As per the Guidelines issued vide O.M. No.11013/9/2014-Estt.A-III dated 21.11.2014, it has been 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. All employees are, therefore, required to register themselves in the system and mark their attendance. Instructions already exist for dealing with cases of late attendance/ unauthorized absence, which may be followed.
3. It is requested that necessary directions may be issued to all employees to mark their attendance in BAS portal on regular basis.

Administration has not installed the required equipment for biometric attendance in the office. How can attendance be marked by employees. May be administration has vested interest in the form of favouritism to the blue eyed employees. How can that be curbed.
It is not clear as to why in these days where performance-based management is the most preferred vis-a-vis the attendance based management, the attendance-based system is still continued. The other issue is “Aadhar-based” when we are still waiting for the Supreme Court verdict on the Aadhar system. When the nation’s security is in question, is it prudent to still cling on to a system like this? Why not we wait for the Supreme Court’s verdict?
