The Central Government has issued strict rules to deal with lateness of its employees. Warning of strict action against Central Government employees who come late, the Centre has said that these acts of those who habitually come late and leave the office early will be taken seriously.
The government took this step when it was found that many employees were not registering their attendance in the Aadhaar-based Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS). Whereas, there were some employees who were coming late on a regular basis. In the circular issued by the central government, it has been said that it is necessary for all employees to apply for Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System. Right now many employees are not applying biometric attendance daily. The reason behind this is that employees reach office late and leave for home early.

The order states that strict action can be initiated against defaulters under the existing rules. All central employees have been asked to mark their attendance regularly through AEBAS with immediate effect. Citing the existing rules, the ministry says that half a day’s CL should be deducted for each day of late arrival, but the authority can consider late arrival of up to one hour (up to twice in a month). Apart from deducting CL, disciplinary action can also be taken.
It has been clarified in this order that the departments of those employees who do not mark their attendance will have to download the report from the portal so that such employees can be identified who are not marking their attendance. It will be the responsibility of the department to ensure that they mark their attendance.
