OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Instructions regarding implementation of Aadhar Enable Biometric
Attendance System (AEBAS) for attendance of all Government employees,
by various Ministries/ Departments/ Organizations (MDOs)

Instructions have been issued by this Department from time to time for observing
punctuality by the Government employees. Responsibility for ensuring punctuality in respect of
their employees rests with the concerned Ministry/ Department/ Organization (MDO). In this
regard, instructions on implementation of Aadhar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS)
by Ministries/Departments/Organizations (MDOs) have also been issued from time to time. In its
instructions issued by this Department vide OM of even number dated 23 June, 2023, all the
MDOs were, /nter alia, advised to ensure strict implementation of AEBAS and periodically monitor
the marking of attendance to ensure punctuality. However, it has been observed that despite
clear instructions, several employees are not registering their attendance in Biometric Attendance
System (BAS) and some of the employees have been coming late on a regular basis.

2. The matter of strict implementation of AEBAS has recently been reviewed and taking a
serious note of the laxity in implementation of AEBAS, it is hereby reiterated that all MDOs will
regularly monitor the attendance reports of their employees after downloading the same from
the portal (attendance.gov.in). The MDOs will also ensure the following

a. All employees mark their attendance using AEBAS without fail. This will ensure that there
will be no discrepancy between ‘registered’ and ‘active’ employee on AEBAS.

b. In case any employee is not registered over AEBAS, immediate steps should be taken to
register his/her biometric data on BAS portal; MDOs may also reconcile the data of
registered employees on AEBAS with the employee data on other portals such as eHRMS
portal/PFMS portal and the list of employees maintained by the Department.

c. In respect of Divyaang employees, MDOs will make appropriate arrangements for
providing convenient and easily accessible machines for capturing biometrics through
suitable alternative modes.

d. HODs of the MDOs shall sensitize their employees to adhere to the instructions relating to
office hours, late attendance etc. They would download the consolidated report from the
portal on a regular basis and identify the defaulters. Hab
