Aadhaar based Biometric Attendance Monitoring System - CBEC offices yet to board
AS part of the “Digital India” Programme of Government of India, it has been decided to implement common Biometric Attendance System (BAS) in the Central Government Offices (Agencies) located in Delhi to begin with. The BAS System was to be installed in all the offices of the Central Government in Delhi by 31st December 2014.
The DG, NIC had repeatedly written to various organisations who have not followed this system. The DG had also written to the Revenue Secretary about some wings of the CBEC which have not implemented the system.
More than one month has elapsed since the declared last date and CBEC has found that the following offices in Delhi have not started registration for the BAS.
1. Directorate of Publicity and Public Relations
2. Chief Commissioner of Customs (Preventive).
3. LTU
4. CDR, CESTAT
The Board now directs these offices to start registration of employees under the Biometric Attendance System, without further delay.
Board is yet to view the delinquency seriously. Maybe after a few more reminders, Board will decide to take a decision to take a serious view of the misdemeanour.
