Banking facilities to the visually challenged
RBI / 2007-08 / 358
DBOD.No.Leg BC. 91 /09.07.005/2007-08
June 4, 2008
To
All Scheduled Commercial Banks
(excluding RRBs)
Dear Sir,
Banking facilities to the visually challenged
It has been brought to our notice that visually challenged persons are
facing problems in availing banking facilities. It may be noted that banking
facilities
including cheque book facility / operation of ATM / locker etc. cannot be
denied to the visually challenged as they are legally competent to contract.
2. It may be recalled that in the Case No. 2791/2003, the Honourable Court
of Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities had passed Orders dated
05.09.2005
which was forwarded by IBA to all the member banks vide their circular
letter dated October 20, 2005. In the above Order, the Honorable Court has
instructed
that banks should offer all the banking facilities including cheque book
facility, ATM facility and locker facility to the visually challenged and
also
assist them in withdrawal of cash. Further, in Para 14 of the above Order,
the Honorable Court has observed that visually impaired persons cannot be
denied
the facility of cheque book, locker and ATM on the possibility of risk in
operating / using the said facility, as the element of risk is involved in
case
of other customers as well.
3. Banks are therefore advised to ensure that all the banking facilities
such as cheque book facility including third party cheques, ATM facility,
Net banking
facility, locker facility, retail loans, credit cards etc. are invariably
offered to the visually challenged without any discrimination. Banks may
also
advise their branches to render all possible assistance to the visually
challenged for availing the various banking facilities.
Yours faithfully
