Making rules and implementing and following the rules are two different things and need proper management.
Just check for once that all the employees are well aware of the rules?
Are the new rules enough to convince or force employee to come on time?
Are the rules implemented and followed by the employer strictly?
Have't you seen even a little improvement regarding punctuality?
Have you given your employees enough time to cope up with the new rules as if the employees are coming late and not punctual for a long time then it will take some time to them to be punctual.
Please check for the above once as it looks you are missing at some points.

To make employees punctual, first you need to take stringent action plans, by strictly penalising the late comers. At initial stages, there may be hues & cries, however, strictly implementing the rules will definitely awake employees to know the importance of punctuality. In our company, I have strictly followed the rules by implementing deduction of leave for late comers (there should be a grace period of 10 minutes, and in excess of 3 late marks in a month, you can deduct half a day leave from their credit). To make it success, it took almost one year, however, I am happy that people are now punctual. If any employee is at habitual of coming late even after taking such actions, you can warn him/her or caution him./her for disciplinary acton. Everything is possible by srictly implementing rules and followed by action plans. Few employees may defend saying that they will not sit late hours in case of any additional work, however, make them understand that "by coming at right time an employee shows the punctuality and by sitting late for completing his/her assigned job shows the responsibility" You start implementing the rules right from today and do not keep the step backward. You will success. Finally, for all these things, you need top management's support also.
All the very best.

Dear Vijayan, Namaste
I had also faced similar situation, not only people came late, but seniors too took liberty of coming way beyond stipulated office timings.
I enforced the same rule, but in different way, (as here the employees are pretty old in the organisation, deducting leaves would not have been beneficial)
1. The incoming office timing was given perpetual grace upto 9.45(actual office timing - 9.30-6) then even if it is 9.46, the person coming late will sit back upto 6.30 P.M. even if he/she does not have any pending work.
2. If the person is delayed beyond and comes after 10 AM then in a month upto 2 genuine reasons are allowed by HOD's discretion and beyond that straight away half day's salary is deducted, which is not deducted in salary or wages but collected as employee fund. (in last 3 months there has been no collection, the collection happened only in the first month, which is lying here in office, to be used as employee welfare or any other way employees deem fit)
Post this rule there is no one who comes late, even if they do, they need to have the HOD's approval on the same, and trust me no HOD can keep giving reasons for late coming, even if the late comer is best performer.
Other than this, if someone has some contingency and if the said employee will be late by more than 2 hours, half day CL is granted, but only after the employee comes and sends email for the approval taken from his/her HOD to all the HOD's and HR, this results in total transparency and no one takes free ride.
It is now more than 4 months that this rule has been implemented and no one comes late, people usually apply for half days....

Hi Rashmi,
The system we have introduced in our Company is anybody coming late after the grace time of 15 minutes from the opening hour of the office, are marked late and for every four days late arrival, we straight away deduct one day's pay even if leave is available to their credit. Now employees are 99% punctual.
