Sir,
Few months back, the Government had introduced Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System for the employees in offices to maintain regularity and punctuality. Abbreviated as AEBAS which was later on replaced by Biometric Attendance System or BAS. But AEBAS is still in vogue in some Government offices.
The former necessitates the use of Aadhaar number which is to be dialled in the keyboard of machine before marking attendance. The problem is that on dialling Aadhaar Number when indicator blinks, it does not capture the finger prints as there is mis-match and error does occur.
This is generally seen in persons/officials with faint digital impressions or finger prints. Even after trying again and again, the person fails to get the desired results. The question arises where this small chunk of officials will go who don’t have AEBAS/BAS based attendance ? Moreoever, the Government has already given directions not to draw salary in favour of employees who do not have BAS based attendance. Moreover, the AEBAS is to be replaced by BAS.
