Its indeed possible for a blind person to open and operate demat account with thumb impression. We have NSDL and CDSL circulars available for this which clearly state the same.
Both the NSDL circular and CDSL communiqué are available on my website which can be downloaded by anyone who wish to get these. Interested folks can go to my website at www.prateekagarwal.webs.com and find the circulars in “circulars, orders and guidelines section”. Hope this helps. regards, Prateek agarwal.
