Back then, the Commission had directed all the medical colleges to install biometric attendance machine for regularly capturing the attendance of human resources as specified in the regulations.
The guidelines clearly stated, "If any faculty/demonstrator/tutor/senior resident retire/or has resigned/ or taken VRS from the Medical Colleges/Standalone PG Institute, then in such case nodal officer should block the attendance ID of such employee. In case of transfer/appointment of employee from one Medical College/Standalone PG Institute to another. Nodal officer should use transfer-out module of AEBAS system and receiving medical college nodal officer should transfer-in such employees."

Pulling up the medical institutes failing to transfer AEBAS IDs in a timely manner, NMC had warned of taking strict action against such medical college and institute including de-recognition, denial in increase of UG/PG seats etc.
