The central government has issued strict instructions to government employees who reach office late and leave early. The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions has issued a circular. It has been said that all government employees should mark their attendance in the Aadhaar enabled biometric attendance system. It is worth noting that many employees were not marking their attendance in AEBAS. Also, some employees were coming late every day. The ministry also advocated the use of mobile phone based face authentication system. Apart from this, live location and geo-tagging were also talked about.
