Please note that the income tax website still has the captcha at the login page. "listen to captcha" option does not work. I have internet banking, so I login through my banking site, otherwise, it is hard to login independently. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of asif Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2017 1:50 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] Digital inclusion update
July 12, 2017 Dear All, May I take this opportunity to brief you all regarding few digital inclusion initiatives which I am personally engaged and seeking your kind assistance, support and cooperation for my mission of digital inclusive eco-system for India. 1. Income tax efiling site: Thanks to my Pwc colleague who has connected me with chief income tax commissioner Efiling and he was kind enough to issue directive to his team to comply with international accessibility standard. Happy to note that 80% of site is indeed accessible and team is currently working on ensuring compliance to accessibility for rest of the sites. Pleased to note that citizens with disability can file return independently. 2. 2. IRCTC: As part of Pwc assignment; I was working with Ministry of IT& Electronics and one of the outcome of that assignment is that they made IRCTC accessible and even enabled additional authentication mechanism such as OTP for blind & visually impaired citizens. 3. 3. BHIM (Digital payment platform) APPE: As we speak; accessibility evangelist are testing out android/ IOS and team has assured us that next version would take care of accessibility in totality. 4. 4. HDFC Bank mobile Appe: As Pwc India has their salary account with HDFC bank; it was frustrating to use inaccessible mobile appe and decided to write to Aditya Pura, MD HDFC Bank. I got a prompt respond from his office followed by in-person meeting visit by regional manager. They are also working on accessibility and hopefully next version of HDFC bank mobile appe release would offer equal access including disabled. 5. 5. Smart cities : I am currently engaged on Pwc smart cities and working on two cities at the moment. My job is to ensure that all digital service channel offers equal access. 6. 6. All India Technical Education council: I recently got connected to chairman AITCE who has promised me that all upcoming government platform would offer equal access. Let's embrace change of digital world and let's all collaborate to influence appe developer for universal access for inclusive India for all.
