Come to Office on Time - Govt tells babus
GOVERNMENT invites the attention of its employees to Rule 3(1)(ii) of CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964 which stipulates that every Government servant shall at all times maintain devotion to duty. Habitual late attendance is viewed as conduct unbecoming of a Government servant and disciplinary action may be taken against such a Government servant.
Government has emphasised that punctuality in attendance is to be observed by Government servants at all levels.
The decision to introduce AADHAAR enabled Bio-metric Attendance System (AEBAS) in Central Government offices, including attached/ sub-ordinate offices, to replace the manual system of marking of attendance to ensure punctuality is to be implemented in all Ministries/ Departments.
As per the Government's instructions, Biometric Attendance System (BAS) was to be implemented in all Central Government offices by 31st December 2014. They are already six months behind schedule and now the Government reminds the babus of the Conduct Rules. Does anyone really wish to reach office on time?
