Subject: Marking of attendance through biometric devices in Operative offices of the Department of Posts – reg.

Sir/Madam,

Kindly refer to DoPT instructions dated 21-11-2014 (copy enclosed) making it mandatory to use Aadhar linked biometric attendance in all Central Government and its subordinate offices throughout the country. It has been seen that operative offices of the Department are yet to shift to Aadhar linked biometric attendance, in toto.

2. All Circles are therefore directed to immediately start Aadhar linked biometric attendance in all Departmental Post offices, Mail offices, PSDs, MMS units etc. In case, fingerprint scanners are required to be procured, the same may be procured from GeM on priority. The cost of such finger print scanners is not much and the entire expenditure can be booked under Non scheme OE/OC of Post offices.

4. The Aadhar numbers of all employees in operative offices may kindly be immediately obtained and registered on the Biometric Attendance System of NIC, in a time bound manner, latest by 30th May 2023. Sh Sudidhi Das, Director (IT) NIC Dak Bhawan (sudidhi [at] nic.in, 9810357708) shall provide technical support to Circles in this exercise.

5. This issues with the approval of Secretary (Posts).

• i) In case any employee experiences any symptoms (like cold, cough, fever, respiratory ailments, etc.), he/she will immediately inform the same to his reporting officer, who in turn will promptly report it to administration. He/she will thus obtain permission to work from home without reporting to the office.
• ii) Anyone who suspects contamination should immediately get themselves tested and in case found (+)Ve shall report to the office only after a quarantine period after obtaining a negative report.
• iii) Those who have come in contact or got exposed to infected people, should immediately isolate themselves and maintain social distancing at the workplace.
• iv) Wearing a face mask is compulsory at all time.
• v) Social distancing shall be religiously followed.

• vii) Those suffering from co-morbidities and are vulnerable to infection shall be allowed to work from home, after obtaining the permission, on case to case basis.
• viii) All the employees shall cooperate with the security at the main gate in screening and sanitizing the hands.

4) Apart from the above instructions the PCDA (CC) and the sub offices located at Lucknow, Varanasi, Prayagraj and Kanpur under its jurisdiction shall work at 50% strength (within the office), and the remaining 50% shall be allowed to work from home. The reporting officers shall ensure that the work is not adversely influenced, accountability and discipline maintained and those allowed to work from home shall report to office whenever called upon. Before implementing the roster system, the officer in-charge of various section and sub offices will intimate to the PCDA (CC), the detail of their rosters. The roster system shall be effective till 30/04/2021.

5) It is also called upon that various instructions issued by MHA, MoHFW and state govt. be strictly followed within and outside the premises, as the same are enforceable under section 144 CrPC, Section 51-60 of Disaster management Act, besides legal action under 188 of IPC.

6) It is thus the professional and moral responsibility of all of us to follow the above instructions in letter and spirit, without exception and ensure the safety at work place and at home. It is also needed to underscore that a very judicious balance is to be made between the safety of all concern and overall performance, accountability and discipline within the organisation.
