Attendance and time tracking products capture punches from biometric devices, RFID cards, face recognition and geo-fenced mobile apps, apply shift, roster, grace and overtime rules, and pass finalised days to payroll. In India the rules matter: overtime at double the ordinary rate under the Factories Act and most Shops and Establishments Acts, spread-over limits, weekly off and compensatory off, and attendance and overtime registers that must be maintained in prescribed formats, which may now be kept electronically. Software costs ₹20 to ₹60 per employee per month, biometric devices ₹5,000 to ₹25,000 each, and field-force tracking with selfie and GPS validation is priced higher. Biometric data is sensitive under the DPDP Act, so check consent and retention practices.
Every product listed here is ranked by moderated reviews and upvotes, with rating, review count, starting price, pricing model and deployment shown on each card. Reviews from plant HR and operations managers focus on device reliability, sync failures and how regularisation requests are handled, which is where these tools succeed or fail.

All guidesFrequently asked questions
How much does attendance software cost?
Cloud attendance modules cost ₹20 to ₹60 per employee per month, frequently bundled into HRMS plans. Biometric fingerprint or face devices cost ₹5,000 to ₹25,000 each with optional AMC. Mobile geo-fenced attendance for field staff is typically ₹30 to ₹80 per user.
Can electronic attendance records replace physical registers?
Yes. The Ease of Compliance to Maintain Registers Rules, 2017 allow registers under several central labour laws, including attendance and overtime, to be maintained electronically, provided they can be produced on demand. Some state acts have parallel provisions; check your state’s rules.
Is biometric attendance mandatory?
No statute requires biometric attendance in private establishments. It is a control choice, and a common one in factories. Because biometric data is sensitive under the DPDP Act, employers should record consent, limit retention and secure the templates stored on devices and servers.
