Addressed to All,
Well in my personal opinion:
1. The normal website www.onlinesbi.com has no accessibility issue.
2. One should not opt for net banking for visually challenged, for the
following reasons:
A. It is restricted in its features, i.e., you cannot transfer funds using
NEFT / RTGS. For more restrictions, kindly read the page of net banking for
VC, on their website and compare with the normal features of website.
B. Again my personal opinion, we should not encourage such separate
facilities designed for us, unless there is no alternative to that. Because
if we do so, then the day will not be far when we will have everything
specially setup for us. Instead of this, we should try to insist others to
include the accessibility or any other thing as per the context, in the main
thing itself.
C. even if we are ready to take such special facilities, then whenever there
will be an update or a new feature, we will have to either wait for the
feature to be included for us, or we will have to fight for that too. I
think that the chances of latter are more. Or if we take it as
infrastructure, then we will be restricted as the network will not be so
strong as it is in general cases. Not cighting examples for avoiding
confusion, controversies, and chaos.
My intention is not that we should deny every special facility, but we
should try to accommodate ourselves and adjust others according to our needs
in the main streem.
Things are changing no doubts, but it will take a lot of effort and time so
we must take every step cautiously.
I am not at all giving you a lecture, because you are more experienced than
I am, and you know what is right or wrong for you. I am just expressing what
I feel.
And sir, if I can be of any assistance to you for using the normal website,
I will be happy to help. Even if you can use NVDA, the website will be fully
accessible.
Thanks and Regards,
Amar Jain.

Subject: [AI] required help regarding net banking at state bank
ofIndia(urgent)
Hi all,
Hope, all are doing well. now I would like to share a problem with you which
I believe that, you can help me a lot.
I have a savings account in State Bank Of India, Integrated Office Complex
branch. The branch has issued me net banking but due to inaccessibility of
screen reader I could not been able to use my account. I did not have the
access of "net banking for visually challenged". The branch did not have the
right allow to access the page. I am repeatedly requested the "happy room"
of State Bank Of India regarding the matter but I am surprised that they did
not have any idea regarding this issue.
Now, I need some visually challenged persons details which I can forward for
their convenience and they can get the idea about how they have got the
accessibility and how they use this facility etcetera.
Can anyone help me? If so, he/she may contact in my personal email ID
amarnath.day@gmail .com and can give his/her mobile/telephone number in
which the concerned officer can talk to him. It will, not only serve my
purpose, but also help the other blind users who are living in Delhi.
So friends, please help me to come out from this problem.
Here is my skype ID: amarnath.day
Thanks and regards.
Yours sincerely,
Amarnath De.
