Hi Paul, I think you didn't get my point. In my opinion for educated totally blind individuals bank should extent banking facilities even if they cannot sign. RBI guidelines says that bank cannot equate totally blind and partially blind individuals with illiterate people just because they make thumb impression instead of signature. Why we should allow to take control of our situation? I'm against involving relatives or known person in financial matters. Reasonable accomodation doesn't means using fake signature. For totally blind person signature mismatch is a big hurdle. We have to understand everyone's limitation and implement a solution without compromising with the rules and regulations.
