This can be a challenge for visually impaired users because of the traditional signature requirement.
There are two solutions: 1. Follow the Demat provider's guidelines for visually impaired users. Many providers offer alternative signing methods or have accessibility features to assist with the process. 2. Use an electronic signature if available. This is often the most convenient and secure option for everyone. From: accessindia@accessindia.org.in <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> On Behalf Of Penny Tony Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2024 11:36 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Subject: [AI] Opening an account with Zaroda for mutual funds Dear All, I was trying to open an account with Zaroda and on the basis of the photograph that I sent, I got a reply saying that the process for opening accounts by persons with visual impairment was different. Pasting the information from their site below. Is this the way it is? What is the procedure to open an account as a visually impaired or illiterate person at Zerodha? Important • Visually impaired and illiterate clients cannot open an account online. To open an account as a visually impaired or illiterate client, the following documents must be filled out in the presence of the Zerodha representative: • Equity application form (PDF) • Commodity application form (PDF) • Declaration form (PDF) • Vernacular risk disclosure document (RDD) (PDF) Follow these instructions while filling up the account opening forms: • The left thumb impression for males and the right thumb impression for female clients instead of signatures wherever mandated in the application forms and the supporting documentation. • Notary or doctor's attestation is required on the top right-hand corner of the Zerodha logo on the KYC page and on the PAN and address proof. Fill in all the details, including witness details, on the declaration form. • The Risk Disclosure Document (RDD) should have the signature of the person who has done the documentation on behalf of the client and the name and signature of the witness to the documentation. The implications of the RDD must be explained in vernacular language (PDF) as well, and the RDD must be signed in the client's vernacular language.
