Govt tells employees to mark attendance via biometric system

The Centre has asked all its employees to use the biometric attendance system after a huge difference was noticed in the numbers of registered workers and those marking their attendance. The secretaries of all ministries and departments have been requested to issue directions to all employees to mark their attendance in BAS Portal on regular basis, DoPT officials said. The Centre had last year decided to use an Aadhaar enabled bio-metric attendance system in all its offices.
