Dear Nisha Just look at Section 33 of the Persons with Disabilities Act which says the following:
*"33.* Every appropriate Government shall appoint in every establishment such percentage of vacancies not less than three per cent. for persons or class of persons with disability of which one per cent. each shall be reserved for persons suffering from- *(i)* Blindness or low vision; *(ii)* Hearing impairment; *(iii)* Loco motor disability or cerebral palsy, in the posts identified for each disability: Provided that the appropriate Government may, having regard to the type of work carried on in any department or establishment, by notification subject to such conditions, if any, as may be specified in such notification, exempt any establishment from the provisions of this section." Besides this, you may like to refer to the DOPT Memorandum dated 29th December 2005 that has it all, here is the relevant text: *No. 36035/3/2004-Estt(Res)* *GOVERNMENT OF INDIA* *MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES & PENSIONS* *DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL & TRAINING* ***** *New Delhi**, Dated the 29**th **December, 2005* OFFICE MEMORANDUM *Subject- Reservation for the Persons with Disabilities.* ------ With a view to consolidating the existing instructions, bringing them in line with the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights & Full Participation) Act, 1995 and clarifying certain issues including procedural matters, the following instructions are issued with regard to reservation for persons with disabilities (physically handicapped persons) in posts and services under the Government of India. These instructions shall supercede all previous instructions issued on the subject so far. 2. *QUANTUM OF RESERVATION* (i) Three percent of the vacancies in case of direct recruitment to Group A, B, C and D posts shall be reserved for persons with disabilities of which one per cent each shall be reserved for persons suffering from (i) blindness or low vision, (ii) hearing impairment and (iii) locomotor disability or cerebral palsy in the posts identified for each disability; (ii) Three percent of the vacancies in case of promotion to Group D, and Group C posts in which the element of direct recruitment, if any, does not exceed 75%, shall be reserved for persons with disabilities of which one per cent each shall be reserved for persons suffering from (i) blindness or low vision, (ii) hearing impairment and (iii) locomotor disability or cerebral palsy in the posts identified for each disability." Hope this suffices and you should not require any other authority or policy. regards, -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Advocate-Disability Rights Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
