Similarly, all DRM offices be integrated with Zonal Railways and all the Zonal Railways with Railway Board so that monitoring of attendance of any location can be done by Railway Board. CCTV cameras should also be provided with the Biometric machine in similar fashion.

a. Wall mounted devices have provision for SIM slots. This to be used for net connectivity.
b. Railway may strengthen their existing (if available ) WLAN network utilising the networking cost provisioned for this purpose.
c. Railways to provide WLAN network, if not available, and strengthen its railnet network, if required from its own resources.

Iris scanners for employees who cannot use finger based device maybe installed as under:-
-5 each for old railways
-3 each for new railways and 30 big divisions.
-2 each for PUs, others and 40 small divisions.
– 20 percent variation in number of devices may be made to suit local conditions and provision may be made for spares as well.
Rs. 2.0 lacs for every old railway Zonal HQ and big divisions ( > 25000 employees) and Rs. 1.5 lacs for others, for network upgradation and other contingent expenses.

8. The introduction of Biometric attendance system does not alter in any way the provisions for late attendance and debiting of leave account and instructions issued on this subject shall apply under the new system as well. Further instructions regarding marking of attendance by staff on duty shall follow. In the meantime Railways may start procuring and installing the system and test it out for a month, before making it compulsorily functional.
