The attendance register an establishment is required to maintain. Whether kept on paper or digitally, it must be able to answer a specific question about a specific person on a specific date, which is the form an inspection almost always takes.
The muster roll is often the first document a labour inspector asks for, so HR keeps it current every day rather than assembling it before an inspection. It lists each worker with daily attendance, and the format and retention period depend on the applicable state rules and the law the establishment is registered under.
In a factory or contractor-heavy site, the HR executive compares the muster roll with the gate register and the contractor's own roll at month end. Differences point to proxy attendance or to workers who were never added to the contractor's PF and ESI records.
The typical mistake is keeping attendance only in a biometric system and assuming that counts. It can, if the system produces the prescribed register on demand with the required columns. Confirm the form your state requires and test that it prints correctly before you need it.
