The system will be implemented in the capital first and then in all
central offices outside New Delhi. The order is binding on all
employees, including those in the armed forces.
To implement the system, all offices will have to install fingerprint
scanners with Wi-fi Internet. The objective of the system, sources
said, is “to check absenteeism and measure the time an employee spends
in office and the time he or she checks in and checks out”.
