so far as information available to me, there is no order that all persons with disability above 80% are included in the BPL category. as to the demands, it was raised because the ministry of rural development and registrar general of India along with the ministry of urban poverty alliviation under the guidance of planning commission is conducting BPL census. the demand was to include all persons with disability autometically in the BPL category in keeping with a supreme court order of 2nd may, 2003.
the pention, to my knowledge, is given to them who is 80% disabled and belong to the BPL category which in Bengal is called "aksham bhata". hope some of your questions are somewhat answered. with warm regards, Anirban Mukherjee On 9/6/11, Amiyo Biswas <amiyo.bis...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I heard that persons with 80% disability are automatically entitled to BPL > status.
