Strange practice. Perhaps in the past, some employees were illiterate. Still, it is compulsory to give the appointment letter; hence, your company must have started the practice of taking the thumb impression of employees as acknowledgment, as they would have been unable to sign. There is no such obligation nowadays; even workmen can read and sign.

Are you under a biometric system for entry and exit? There is nothing wrong with having this in your records; it may be helpful in case of litigations and ID problems if they arise, especially when an employee dies and there are disputes about the nominations on file and surviving claimants of the deceased. However, no law requires both signatures and LTM as a prerequisite.

The Role of Thumb Impressions in Employment Contracts
A thumb impression provides an accurate identification of a person. In forensic science, no two thumb impressions are ever alike. This practice is not mandated by labor law in the employment contract, but as a precautionary measure, employers may collect thumb impressions for future identification purposes of employees. This practice is beneficial in the context of an employment contract.
