Bio Metric Attendance system in Central Government Offices

After the implementation of the bio metric attendance system, the analysis of the last three months show that central government employees are working nearly twenty minutes extra in office every day.

It works out to an additional workforce of almost 1,900 employees every day, said government sources. 

In the three months since the system began functioning, there has been a gain of 16,000 man hours or eight-and-a-half hours a working day.

The study shows that the average ‘in-time’ was 9.28 am and out-time was 5.46 pm. Currently, ministries and departments of the government have a 9 am to 5.30 pm day, while attached or subordinate offices work from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.
Sources say, employees spending more time at work could also lead to more productivity and cutting down on pendency.
Currently, 387 organisations have implemented the biometric system of attendance. The project is being expanded to all Government offices.
