Dear Manisha,
In addition to what Manish Majumdar has said I would like to draw your attention towards inter departmental coordination too. Discipline is must in an organization also for running the work smooth. At times, if the employee is not available when the requirement is must work might suffer. Assuming yours is a process driven organization & you have enough manpower to take up the tasks still a company should never compromise on discipline.
Flexibility of 2 hours in itself is a very good practice. If you would further like to extend liberty you can have two methods;
1. allowing maximum no. of times an employee can come late OR
2. allowing late coming till 45 minutes in total for a month & deducting half day for every 15 minutes after that. Eg. if employee happens to come late for 64 minutes
first 45 minutes - no deduction
next 15 minutes - half day deduction
next 4 minutes - half day deduction
Pl understand that POLICIES will always have a benefit & penalty attached to it. You cannot keep on changing your policies every time after implementing & seeking employees feedback. HR should have stable head on the shoulder to empathize & bridge the gap between management & employees. Policies are never made one sided.
The solution suggested by you does not show the benefit organization might have. Have you considered that aspect as well!!
