I am sorry for the late reply. I tried it several times. It's really
accessible. However, all services are not available. I withdrew cash and
checked balance with my own card and with others' cards also. Himansu Sahu
of our list was also with me. We were asked to test it.
With best regards,

hmmm. we can try that. but I don't think all banks will accept that because,
as per the banks in tamilnadu, to my knowledge, other than state bank of
india, none of the banks are willing to give any facility to the blind.
While they are refusing to give checkbooks, ATM, Internet banking to an
individual blind person, how come they will come forward to install
accessible ATM machines?
I thought there was nothing. But I was told there are one or two here in my
city. I haven't come across that yet.

Raaj,
Agree with Kanchan... The best we need to do is alert local disability
organizations to work with banks in Chennai and make it happen.

it's still far away as per chennai. I haven't seen even a single accessible
ATM here. the rule has to be enforced for allotting certain per centage of
accessible ATM's. And if they are not following, they have to be peenalised.

challanged can not avail the vise versa normally.

First Talking ATM for the Visually Challenged in West Bengal, Union
Bank's
Initiative
September 28, 2012
Union Bank of India installs the first talking ATM for the visually
challenged people in West Bengal. Shri Debabrata Sarkar, Chairman and
Managing Director of the Bank, today inaugurated this special ATM at the
passport office at Anandapur near Ruby crossing in Kolkata. Shri Sarkar
announced on this occasion that Union Bank will install 250 similar
talking
ATM counters in the country within March, 2013. Braille versions of the
user
guide for this type of ATM was distributed among the representatives of
different organisations. An accessible and audio version of this manual
is
also put up on the Union Bank's web site. It is also available from the
web
site of Xavier Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged who compiled
this
manual.
Blind Persons' Association hopes that there will be many more accessible
ATMs in West Bengal. A number of such ATMs have been installed in other
cities in India. the audio system comes live as soon as a standard 3.5 mm
headphone jack is inserted. A user can hide the display if he wants
additional security. Right now he can withdraw cash, check account
balance
and even change his PIN. The card, cash Dispenser and receipt slots are
marked with Braille labels.
