Hello,
At a general level I state that an applicable has to be complied with.
Referring to your specific query, I will answer in the negative first and than ask you to read both the acts for improving your own proficiency.
Do inform us what you will find!
At another level I inform you that under the provisions of "Information Technology Act" ( think it was passed in the year 2000, it is clearly provided that if any record/information is required to be maintained under any act is maintained in electronic format, then that will amount to compliance under the basic act that required you keep some record. That not too many organizations have resorted to this method is a fact and I dare say not may HR have particularly looked at it.
I suggest you obtain a copy of the AT Act and study. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand it!
Regards
