It seems, there is no uniform rule all over the country. In West Bengal similar things happened a few years ago. Now it is very difficult to obtain a certificate even if you are totally blind. You have to go to the hospital several times to get a date for necessary medical test and to go through a host of formalities.
False certificate is still possible perhaps, we need not mention how. Best regards, Amiyo.
