Re: [AI] Cell phone recommendations, please
Sudhir, I have been using a Nokia 6600 without problem for close to a year now with TALKS registered version. I have also increased the memory to 256 MB. When you invest in a smart phone, do get the memory increased.

Re: [AI] CII (confederations of Indian Industries ) role document
Dear Mohammad: I think something serious needs to be done about considering VH in particular and PWD in general as consumers of various products/services --which is the topic of my Ph.D. I think most or even all of product/service providers aren't aware of our status as consumers and are often made to believe as though they are doing a favour to us. For instance, none of the instruction manuels are in Braille, none that I know of, which can be a cost-effective value addition businesses can offer. Also, there're misconceptions surrounding our capabilities in utilizing these services. Air travel is a good example. Though someone with severe disability may need an escort, those with visual impairment are very independent and don't need escorts. Therefore, kindly tell CII to have certain clauses where the needs of VI's and PWD's can be taken on board.

Well, 6600 has 6 mb, 6670 has 8 mb, 6630 has 10 mb and 6681 should be at least having 10 mb. Plus you get a free 64mb memory card and a 512 mb memory card is not costly at these days around 1000.

Re: [AI] Cell phone recommendations, please
Hello Sudhir, Eliminate 7610 and 6670 for two reasons. They are too old and the sound quality (especially low volume) is a big minus. 6600 is being used by a lot of people but again the technology is too old. 6630 is still OK but has a nagging tendency of popping out its memory card as there is no shutter. I would suggest you go for 6681 which is priced round about 13k and offers a decent keypad and good sound quality. Rajesh Asudani has purchased one and is happy with it I guess. I own a 6670 and I would advise not to go for it at all. 7610 has the worst keypad of all the models. You may also want to look at the N70 if it is available for 13k. It is a very good model too.

[AI] Braille mobile from samsung
Samsung wins award for Braille mobile July 4, 2006, 10:22 GMT Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics announced on Monday that it had won a gold award at the Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) sponsored by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) and Business Week. Samsung won the gold award for its Braille mobile phone, the Touch Messenger, which was designed by the company's Shanghai-based Samsung Design China division. The Touch Messenger allows visually impaired users to send and receive Braille text messages, with the company revealing that the product was developed in line with its global design strategy of gaining inspiration from local needs, in this case the needs of the nine million visually impaired inhabitants of China. It is anticipated that once the Touch Messenger is commercialised it will increase the quality of life for the world's 180 million visually impaired. Users will be able to use two Braille keypads on the phone to send messages, while a Braille display screen on the lower part of the phone will allow them to read incoming messages. http://tech.monstersandcritics.com/news/article_1177846.php/Samsung_wins_awa rd_for_Braille_mobile To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] important news flash
Dear all, This thread has already been discussed earlier on the list. Pranav -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaja, Kiran Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 11:07 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] important news flash Although all of us should post our comments on this review, I don't really think there is an immediate threat to the exemptions offered for disabled citizens. Every exemption in the income tax act is being reviewed. Also, this information has been in the news quite a while ago. Instead of making an issue of why disabled organizations are not informed about this review, we should now concentrate on explaining to the revenue department the reasons behind requesting for these exemptions. This also highlights the unfortunate fact that disabled people are still not using technology to their advantage. Only if we are more avid users of internet, we could have known this news much earlier. Regards, Kiran. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of disability rights initiative Sent: Wednesday, 05 July 2006 10:53 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] important news flash New Page 1 - Original Message - From: Editor-DNIS To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 4:17 PM Subject: [DNIS Flash News] Tax benefits for disabled people & theirparentsunder threat! DNIS BREAKING NEWS TAX BENEFITS FOR DISABLED PEOPLE & THEIR PARENTS UNDER THREAT! DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE CALLS FOR COMMENTS REGARDING REMOVAL OR CONTINUANCE OF EXEMPTIONS AND DEDUCTIONS UNDER THE INCOME TAX ACT, 1961 ALL THREE SECTIONS (80-DD, 80-DDB, 80-U) FOR DISABLED PEOPLE, THEIR PARENTS BEING TARGETTED!! The Department of Revenue, Central Board of Direct Taxes, Tax Policy & Legislation Division under the Ministry of Finance, in a quiet announcement on the department's own website, has stated that various tax incentives and deductions under the Income Tax Act are being reviewed, and in this regard it would like to invite comments "with supporting rationale" for their removal or continuance. But the manner in which the notice has been put up leaves much to be desired. The notice states that "the Government is keen to involve all stakeholders in this exercise." If it is so keen, how come no one has heard of this quiet exercise? Even D.N.I.S. got this information very late. If the concerned department was genuinely looking for views, the announcement should have been duly published. Views of N.G.O.s and parent groups should have been solicited. Disability rights groups should have been informed. Speaking to veterans in the disability sector, D.N.I.S. found that most of them were not even aware of this so-called "review". Subhash Datrange, Association for Blindness & Low Vision, Mumbai, and Rajul Padmanabhan, Vidya Sagar, Chennai said they could not comment on the move as they were unaware and had not got any information regarding the same. Nirmala Srinivasan, Acmiindia, Bangalore came to know of it very late and this is what she had to say: "The circular comes as a major threat to persons with disabilities, and their family care givers like me." As regards content of the notice, the first question that comes to mind is Why? What rationale or logic lies behind the review of the existing tax deductions for disabled people and their parents? Looking at the history of the income tax deductions for the disabled, one can see that an amount of only Rs. 20,000 was allowed under Section 80U until 1995. This was the year when the Disability Act was passed. Without wasting any time, Disabled Rights Group (D.R.G.) took the initiative to meet Manmohan Singh who was the Finance Minister then, and convinced him regarding the need for an increase in the existing amount. As a result, the deduction from the total income of a disabled person was raised from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 40,000 the same year. Again, in 2002, when Jaswant Singh was the Finance Minister during the N.D.A. rule, D.R.G. met him and demanded that the tax deduction be raised to Rs. 100,000. The Government yielded partially to the demand and created two slabs. The tax deduction amount was raised to Rs. 50,000 for all disabled people, and to Rs. 75,000 for people with severe disability (above 80 per cent). At present, there are three sections under which disabled people and/or their parents are eligible for tax deduction. One is 80-DD with deductions of Rs. 50,000 where any expenditure is incurred for the medical treatment of a dependent being a person with disability. In case of severe disability, there is an enhanced deduction of Rs. 75,000. Under section 80-DDB there are deductions up to Rs. 40,000 against expenses actually incurred on medical treatment of specified diseases and ailments. In case of senior citizens, enhanced deduction of Rs. 60,000 is available. Under se

Respected Madam/s,
The Human Rights Law Network is a nation wide collective of lawyers and social
activists working towards providing access to justice to marginalized
communities including persons with disabilities.
It has been brought to our notice that the Department of Revenue has called
for comments regarding removal or continuance of exemptions and deductions
under the Income Tax Act, 1961
RELEVANT PORTION OF THE NOTIFICATION and our comments thereof are noted below
for your consideration:
141. 80-DD Deductions of Rs. 50,000/- where any expenditure has been incurred
for the medical treatment of a dependant being person with disability. In case
of severe disability, enhanced deduction of Rs. 75,000/- {Resident
Individual/HUF}
COMMENTS:
Parents including guardians and care givers of persons with disabilities have
to incur medical expenses, sometimes recurring, for medical treatment of their
children/ wards with disabilities. In the case of certain kinds of disabilities
specially those related to mental health, this expense relates to medication
and also institutionalization for long stretches of time.
With innovations in medicinal technology, opportunities are arising and will
continue to develop further, and which will help persons with disabilities to
seek such interventions . It is a widely known fact that Government
facilities are grossly inadequate and all such medical interventions
Institutionalisation etc is being sourced from private sources which is
available at exorbitant prices. Not only this , there is no social security
worth speaking of in the country.
Any move by your department to disallow benefits under this specific provision
will be a drain on the resources of parents and support givers who are already
struggling to provide for a child or person with a disability.
142. 80-DDB Expenses actually incurred on medical treatment of specified
diseases and ailments, up to Rs, 40,000/- In the case of senior citizens,
enhanced deduction of Rs. 60,000/- is available {Resident Individual/HUF}
COMMENTS:
There are diseases like Haemophilia, Thallesemia, Epilepsy etc which require
constant medication and monitoring by specialists and lifelong medication
Periods. Some of these diseases may also cause disability if not treated
correctly and timely and may also result in the death of the person affected
by this illness. In developed countries some of these illnesses are recognized
as disability conditions. Senior citizens who are surviving on pensions too
have to incur such additional expenses as it is a known fact that old age
results in a myriad of illnesses and diseases. Public health facilities are not
easily available. treatment is expensive and persons with disabilities are
not covered by Insurance Companies particularly for the disorder.
Any move on the part of your department to disallow tax benefits under this
provision will financially burden support groups and families of persons
suffering from such diseases.
158. 80U Deduction of Rs. 50,000/- for an individual being a person with
disability. In case of severe disability, enhanced deduction of Rs. 75,000/-
is available. {Resident Individual}
COMMENTS:
Persons with disabilities are heavily marginalized and find it difficult to be
involved in economic activities. A few of those who do manage to find
employment are not compensated adequately to commiserate their
qualifications and experience. Those who do manage to find employment have to
incur additional expenses by way of transport. Public transport systems in the
country are woefully lacking in adaptations required for disabled and
alternate modes of transport like taxis and auto rickshaws are too expensive
for daily use . Specially fabricated cars and three wheelers are exorbitantly
priced, require heavy maintainence and are fuel guzzlers. Most disability
groups need to hire escorts to enhance their mobility to reach their places of
work. Persons with disabilities also require special equipments for
communication like special software for working on computers, accessible mobile
phones, hearing aids mobility devices etc and a

It's really irritating even more due to the droppings left by them on roads. I never faced any animal (probably due to the fact that I rarely travel alone in colonies) I mostly get assistance or cycle rickshaw to reach the main roads, and animals are rarely found on the main roads (but many accounts of them on the main roads by people who are driveing) might not validate what I said, but I never encountered them on the main roads.

I'm sorry to say that The Wipro engineer who came to my place to verify the things didn't sound very appealing to me. I'm saying this because in my last mail I talked about the control F11 command. The dell people at Bangalore say that this command restores your computer to the factory stage, so will erase all your data even in the D drive, while he told me that You wouldn't lose your data even if you go for this.

Re: [AI] info required on Intel Core Solo processors
Hi Rajat Sir, The OS along with several other utilities was pre-installed, the engineer that came did nothing except verifying that each and everything was in order. The OS is XP home edition but you could upgrade anything before finalising your order, I chose to have this system with the default option as it would amount to bare some extra cost. I've also been given the original CD of the OS if I want to repair or do the fresh installation of windows. My product key is also printed at the back side of my Laptop itself. I would also like to point out that in case my windows gets corrupt and it is not even repairable, I can do it the fresh installation without having to use the original CD that I've been given. Yesterday, in my very first mail, I pointed out about some Dell restore system which is there in the hidden partition of the disk. Now, in case of any eventuality, I can press control F11 immediately when the dell logo appears before the OS starts booting, and my system would be restored to the factory stage. The biggest disadvantage of this utility is that it wipes out the data of both your hard drives. So one may like to go for this utility if he has the full backup of his data.
