What about the small business runner who suffers from blindness? the swipe machine or POS machine installed in there shop is not at all accessible. Even you cant memorize the steps to accept the payment as the software of these machines are periodically updated due to security reasons, which makes the accepting process different with each update. Moreover some times due to card failure or network failure a blind shop owner does not come to know that whether the payment received successfully or not.

Subject: Re: [AI] For Millions of Indians with Disabilities making online payments is tough call Dear all Of course every blind or visually impaired are not literate or tech sabby. This is the case with the non-disabled people too. Moreover cashless is not going to happen overnight. But there are many among us who are familiar with cashless system and can use without any difficulty. So the debate should be how to make the system accessible and how to remove the administrative bottleneck and proper implementation of the programmes and policies. Just take the instances of denial of ATM card and cheque facilities by various bank branches.

But the point to be noted is that millions of blind people in India are not computer/tech literate. Most banking facilities are inaccessible and many banks still do not easily provide banking facilities to blind people. Alongside pushing the cashless system, it is important to empower the blind individual, and make accessible the tools of the cashless economy and banks have to start engaging with blind customers. The switch is not quite that simple. This cashless economy makes it all the more critical that Digital India becomes accessible.

Subject: Re: [AI] For Millions of Indians with Disabilities making online payments is tough call Hi sir, Let’s not debate on the advantages and disadvantages of cash and without cash payment systems. As an academician, it’s your responsibility to see the positive side of the fast and ever-changing society and impart that knowledge to your students. I still remember that example shared on our own list regarding the introduction of computers in government organisations. Though there are people who are happy to have a free lunch at their workplace but there also exists a bunch of individuals who have achieved spectacular growth in their careers using the same technology. Go to the office environment of 20/25 years ago and you wouldn’t be able to imagine a blind person at a post higher than a typist/ telephone operator. According to me, every big change comes with a pain but the pain is worth it at the end. I have no intentions of arguing with a senior member but as a list member I feel that a right message must be given to the younger generation who considers this list to be the primary source of information.

According to me the problem is more severe for totally blind persons. Today there is a loud cry for going in for paperless currency, but has the government really thought about the needs of differently abled persons or the Hon. Prime Minister and his ministry really think that Divyang persons have a Divyang which takes them out of any problems? The Government must think of persons like us not only from the point of view of accessibility but also from safety and security. Sincerely, C. B. Kulkkarni On 06/12/2016, Shyam M.

According to a study conducted by Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) last month, many of the most-commonly used mobile apps for food delivery, online payments, grocery shopping and transportation were not accessible to people with vision disabilities. The study covered 22 apps. The 2011 census puts the number of people with disabilities in the country at 26 million, while advocacy groups say the real figure is closer to 150 million. Last year, India recorded nearly nine billion downloads of mobile-based applications last year. “The national policy for universal electronic accessibility says that all IT products and services should be accessible. However, the government is still unable to implement it. Several government apps are inaccessible,” said Nirmita Narasimhan, policy director at CIS. CIS’s survey of some key government mobile based applications like My Gov, EPathshala and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official app found them to be severely lacking. The illiterate, aged and those not proficient in English would also struggle with the apps, the study found. The guidelines for government websites laid out accessibility standards in 2009. The 2013 national policy on universal electronic accessibility clearly upholds equal rights “ensuring that accessibility standards and guidelines and universal design concepts are adopted and adhered to.” However, most commonly-used apps fail to follow this. All 22 of the apps studied were privately owned but not all were fully compliant with universal standards. Of taxi-hailing apps Meru, Ola and Uber, only Uber was completely accessible to the disabled. The others had mis-labelled or unlabeled buttons and graphics. When it came to food delivery, Zomato was the best at replicating the user experience for people with disabilities. Swiggy and Foodpanda were difficult for new users, and Freshmenu was completely inaccessible. Of the marketplace apps, Amazon and Snapdeal were the only accessible ones. Myntra and Flipkart had incorrectly labelled buttons and misleading graphic tags, which made them impossible for people with disabilities to use. For instance, customers would be able to select the product they wanted to buy but had no way of choosing the quantity, the study said. Online grocery delivery apps Grofers and Zop Now were hard for people with disabilities to use, while Big Basket was relatively better though pages change during orders. Online payment portals Paytm, Oxigen and FreeCharge were relatively accessible, the study found. “Designers, developers and industries need to realize that there are more people out there who use this technology .The market is much bigger and they should work towards being inclusive,” said Narasimhan of CIS. Albinder Dhinda, cofounder of grocery delivery service Grofers, said their app meets all accessibility requirements. “However, the disability tools provided by Google Play Store or the App Store often don’t benefit the user and are hard for them to use. We are trying to make it better. Things like online payments won’t be accessible to people with disabilities as those apps are supported by third party sites, and don’t fall within our settings. We’re trying to make it better. We’re three years behind the US, in the playground they made. It’ll be a while before we reach their level,” he said.
