The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has made it mandatory for its employees to mark their biometric attendance yet, almost 3,801 employees did not adhere to the rules and so their November salaries were put on hold. But, when 2,153 BMC employees completed their biometric attendance procedure, the civic chief Ajoy Mehta agreed to release their salaries.
In the coming two days, BMC will credit salaries in employees’ banks. But, roughly 1,600 workers will not receive their November and December salaries as they have not completed their attendance procedure.
The BMC started biometric attendance last September for which Aadhaar card link up was necessary. However, 3,801 workers, employees and officials did not link their Aadhaar cards and so their attendance was not getting registered.
The civic chief Ajoy Mehta asked the departments not to release the salaries of 3,801 employees and workers who did not link their Aadhaar card. Out of these, officials concerned of 2,153 workers and employees were asked to give the reasons for the same. Some of the officials said that the employees have gone out for election work, some workers are on leave while some have submitted their UID certificate but they have not been updated.
However, the civic chief did not receive any explanation of the remaining 1,600 workers and so their salaries of November and December will be on hold.
