The system has been effectively implemented at the Nagaland Civil Secretariat, with Android tablets and PC-based fingerprint scanners deployed across various Departments and AHOD offices. A total of 1,762 employees is currently registered under AeBAS, ensuring systematic and automated attendance tracking. The Department operates a Biometric Control Room at the Nagaland Civil Secretariat, staffed daily by personnel for system monitoring and quick technical resolutions.
