Biometric and Face-ID Check-in Becomes Compulsory for Tamil Nadu HR Staff

The Tamil Nadu government announced that beginning June 1, 2026, all Human Resource Management department staff are required to check in using biometric and face-ID systems. This mandatory measure aims to enhance attendance tracking and ensure timely arrivals.

According to a circular from deputy secretary Thankapappa, issued following directives from the principal secretary, employees must clock in by 10 am digitally, alongside traditional manual sign-ins. This initiative addresses concerns over frequent delays reported by secretariat sources.
