Biometric Attendance Machine Price in India (October 2026): What You Actually Pay
Short answer: in India a basic fingerprint attendance machine costs about ₹3,900 to ₹10,000, a face recognition machine ₹7,000 to ₹35,000, and Aadhaar-enabled (AEBAS) devices ₹20,000 and up. The price moves with four things: how it reads you (card, finger, face), how many users it stores, how you get the report (pen drive, LAN software, cloud app) and whether it also opens a door. All prices below are our live website prices, include GST, and delivery across India is free.

What moves the price
- Face vs fingerprint. Face machines cost roughly double a fingerprint machine of the same capacity, but they are touch-free, faster in a queue, and work with gloves, dust and worn fingerprints. For factories and schools, face usually pays for itself in time saved at the gate.
- Capacity. Entry models store 500–3,000 users; the Pro 1700F stores 20,000 faces. Buy for the staff you will have in two years, not today.
- Reports. Pen-drive Excel output is the cheapest. LAN/Wi-Fi software lets HR pull reports from a desk. Cloud models include a mobile app and cloud software; check each listing for how long the software is included and what renewal costs.
- Door control. Models with a lock relay (Hikvision 320EFWX, Realtime RS 9w, most face machines) double as access control: add an EM lock, exit switch and PK-80 power supply.
- Aadhaar (AEBAS). Government-mandated attendance needs an L0 or L1 registered device, which costs far more because of the certified sensor.
Which one for your size
- Up to 25 staff, one location: Realtime C101 or Secureye S-B8CB (₹3,900–₹4,000). Pen-drive reports are enough.
- 25–100 staff, HR wants reports on a PC: Realtime RS 9w with Wi-Fi (₹7,500) or Realtime Pro RS70 (₹8,900).
- 100–500 staff, or a factory gate: Hikvision DS-K1T343EWX (₹13,500) or Realtime Pro 1100n (₹16,400).
- 500+ staff, outdoor gate: Realtime Pro 1700F (₹34,000).
- Government / AEBAS: Realtime T503F L1 (₹49,450).

FAQ
Is there a monthly fee?
Not for pen-drive or LAN models. Cloud models include cloud software for the period stated on each listing; after that the subscription is renewed with the brand.
Does the machine need internet?
Only cloud and Wi-Fi models. Pen-drive models work with no network at all.
Can one machine do attendance and open the door?
Yes, if it has a lock relay output. Add an EM lock, an exit switch and a 12 V power supply.
Will it work in a dusty factory?
Choose a face machine; fingerprints fail with dust, oil and gloves. The Pro 1700F is weatherproof for gate installs.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes, all prices include GST. Business buyers can add their GSTIN in the cart note.
Prices are NavKar Systems website prices on 26 October 2026, inclusive of GST, and may change.
