Sir,
We do not maintain attendance register any more instead we maintain attendance of the employees in electronic form as it is more convenient and reliable. But under the Act one must maintain attendance register.
We were fined by the magistrate last year for not maintaining register.
1) To whom can we apply for the permission to maintain the same in electronic form?
2) As anyone hardly maintains attendance registers should electronic attendance also not be recognized by law?

Attendance Register is Compulsory by Law but you can request to Commissioner for allowing you to maintain Electronic Attendance Register and if they give you that permission for the same then you can maintain Electronic Attendance Register.

Labour Commissioner is the competent authority to allow. Generally such permission is provided all over India. It is difficult to believe that you had a system for marking presence other than register but still were fined.
Science has brought the situation where old laws need overhauling.
