MCD Enforces Aadhaar Biometric Attendance System with Salary Linkage
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has issued a strict directive making registration on the Aadhaar-Based Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS) compulsory for all officials stationed at its headquarters. In a move to ensure compliance, the corporation has warned that salaries will be withheld for employees who fail to register by the deadline of February 28.
Salary Processing Tied to Biometric Attendance Records
According to sources within the MCD, salary processing for Group C and Group D staff will now be directly linked to attendance recorded through the new AEBAS platform. This shift marks a significant change from the current system, where employees use a location-based method with face recognition technology. Going forward, the Aadhaar-based biometric system will serve as the primary and mandatory attendance mechanism, replacing previous practices.
Objectives Behind the Mandatory Implementation
Officials have clarified that this initiative is designed to streamline attendance management across the corporation. By integrating Aadhaar biometrics, the MCD aims to strengthen administrative discipline, reduce instances of proxy attendance, and improve overall transparency in workforce management. The move is part of broader efforts to modernize municipal operations and ensure accountability among staff members.
The enforcement of this system underscores the MCD's commitment to leveraging technology for efficient governance. Employees are urged to complete their registration promptly to avoid disruptions in salary disbursement and to align with the corporation's enhanced administrative protocols.
