Indian Railways Modernizes Ticket Checking with Biometric System
Imagine train ticket checkers having a new way to mark their attendance, like using a fingerprint scanner.
Indian Railways has started using this system to make sure everything is fair and runs smoothly.
It helps track when workers start and finish their shifts, making sure they are on duty.
This system is being introduced in many places to make things better for both the staff and the passengers.
It's like a digital check-in that makes everything faster and more reliable.
Indian Railways introduces a biometric sign-on/off system for ticket checking staff.
The system uses biometric authentication for attendance.
The first implementation was at Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay Junction on August 29, 2025.
The system provides real-time tracking of staff availability.
This system aims to improve efficiency, transparency and accountability.
