Bihar Government offices at Block and District levels would have Biometric Attendance System installed to track the arrival and departure of Employees. The State Government employees are known for arriving late and leaving early at offices and such a system has been envisaged to curb this practice.
According to the plans of  State Government, 101 Blocks would have this system installed in the first phase, while rest 534 Blocks would have this in second phase.  The System is being installed with the help of Bihar Electronics Corporation LTd (BELTRON).  The ETA for the installation of First Phase is less than 3 months.
A typical Biometric Attendance System
The Daily attendance shall be tracked from the Headquarters at Secretariat in Patna, which would prevent any  tailgating, buddy-swapping or other tricks used to forged by employees.
A biometric time attendance system is a biometric time clock that tracks employee attendance, including when they clock in, when they clock out, and if they showed up when they were scheduled to work.
What makes a biometric time clock one of the best time and attendance systems is that it has a biometric fingerprint scanner built in that is much more accurate in time keeping that a time card or time sheets because employees can’t clock in other employees. This helps prevent time theft and saves money for the company.
Another great feature of biometric attendance systems is that they could also be used as biometric access control for the building’s security. Companies can restrict access to certain areas of the building so only certain employees can enter by only approving their fingerprints in the access system.
