Yes, they should. According to CCPD decision as well as hopefully according to pending high court case of Mr. Pincha, RBI is dutybound to promulgate non-discriminatory guidelines for VIPs for handling accounts. Unfortunately in our country pervading apathy even to court decisions is working to the detriment of many, not to mention VIPs who due to their lack of any pressure group and capacity to lobby are the worst hit. In all the bombastic talk of so-called financial inclusion, there is no mention of Visually impaired or disabled at large.
