Vah, Pranay  jee Vah!!!!
What an example of Indian bureaucratic rule making you have furnished!!!

And, here we are debating new disability legislation.

Let me warn one and all that in new disability draft also, hyper- excessive 
delegated legislation by government baboos  is being introduced which would be 
troubling us for  remainder of 21st century.

New draft fails even to define impairments, leaving all to government set 
committee for introducing sociomedical scale of disability!!!!

They say vigilance is the price of liberty, but         I think not even hyper 
vigilance can ensure it for persons with disabilities....

Hats off to Delhi government!!!!!

Subject: [AI] Disability certificate rules in Delhi

Hi all,
We learnt from one of our helpdesk clients who was denied to be given 
disability certificate in a delhi govt hospital saying that new rules have come 
in by which certificate would be issued to those who are 90% or more blind. 
Fortunately we could speak to the chairman of the medical board who confirmed 
that such rules have come since october 2010 and they possess the circular. 
When he didn't email us after repeated assurances, we search and were amazed to 
find the same on Delhi govt site.

As if we had not enough, we see this new rule of Delhi govt. Pasting below the 
link as well the full text.
Not only they have set their own minimum percentages of disability to be 
certified, but also see the procedure to get the certificate
Has anybody else also faced such a denial?
