Vide its OM dated 31.01.2022, this Department 15th February, 2022 or instructed that biometric attendance shall remain suspended till till further orders, whichever is earlier, and consequently, marking of attendance through AEBAS automatically resumed since 16.02.2022. However, it has been observed that many Ministries/Departments/Organizations have not yet resumed the use of AEBAS for marking of attendance of their employees.
