The Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) has provided the technical guidance for installing the system.

This portal is real time monitoring of attendance of all registered employees. This system will generate daily list of the in and out timings and such list are on Leave, Tour, Training. However, due to non availability of information in the system, they are being shown as absentees.
If an employee punch in the bio metric system equipment more than once in a day, what will happen?
