Please send your views on the mani app soon. Kanchan Read the report below 'Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind' rosy.seque...@timesgroup.com Mumbai : Bombay high court said the Reserve Bank of India must consider an expert committee's suggestions and recommendations for making currency notes and coins friendly for the visually challenged. "It is high time the Reserve Bank of India considers it,'' said Acting Chief Justice Sanjay Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep Marne on May 3. They heard a 2019 PIL by National Association for the Blind (NAB) to direct RBI to introduce "blind-friendly" currency notes/coins as the new currency and coins are difficult to distinguish on touch. In September 2022, RBI said Delhi HC had constituted a committee. On May 3, RBI's advocateDhaval Patil said the report had not yet been tabled. "There cannot be any dispute that the currency and mints have to be disabled user-friendly,'' they said. They noted that after the PIL was filed, RBI came out with some measures and introduced coins that are "visually impaired friendly" and a mobile application. Advocate Uday Warunjikar, for NAB, said there are some issues with operating the app with regard to volume and the app does not work in crowded places and on trains and buses. "Respondent (RBI) certainly has to take steps so that the visually impaired persons can distinguish the currency. In fact, as the committee was already appointed, we are waiting for that report, because the same would be the suggestions and /or recommendations ofthe experts," they said. The judges directed that no sooner the report is received, it must be submitted to the court or else they proceed with the matter on the basis of petition and replies as "the matter cannot be adjourned in perpetuity".

RE: [AI] Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind'
On March 7, 2019, the Prime Minister had release a set of coins comprising Rs20/-, Rs10/-, Rs5/-, Rs2/- and Rs1/-. All of them are distinctly different to both see and touch. The problem is that the RBI or whoever else responsible have not bothered to withdraw the old coins. Thus the scenario becomes more chaotic.

Re: [AI] Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind'
Currency plays a vital role in our life. Now we are in a position which we have to depend on sited persons to know the value of it. Everybody knows that a decade back, we are aware of different sizes of coins such as 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 paisa coin available. but now they are not in use. They have different structures & anybody can easily recognize them without any hurdles. Now technology has improved. Along with that, complication also drastically increased. How much the app will support us. Think, when we are in a crowd. Is it possible to take every note or coin & check with app. If you are having approximately more than 10 notes or coins, is it seems good to take each of them & check with app. Why government is not thinking of this matter. It is only feasible to check less than 5 notes or coins. But, If we are having currencies in olden days, we can manage ourselves without depending on others. I request you all to throw light on this matter. I strongly emphasis to follow the old style of having currencies based on their shapes. Regards.

RE: [AI] Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind'
I think I need to clarify. 1. I copied a Times of India article about a pending case in Mumbai by the NAB regarding coins etc. 2. The Bombay High Court Judges were informed by RBI that they are waiting for a Report. 3. This is the report on which amar and George have worked as a part of the Delhi High Court matter. 4. So the Bombay High Court matter will rely on this report. I have explained to Amar how it will really work. 5. We cannot do anything further at this stage unless this report is bad. It is currently out of our hands and no point in now commenting. 6. What the newspaper article also said was that the Bombay Court has asked for a report on the ap for recognising currency. So I presumed that it is referring to Mani. 7. Only Harish has commented about this Ap. If we have to help this matter and ourselves then we must do a proper evaluation and send it to the NAB or If NAB India is on this list then they can pick it up and give good information to their lawyer.

Kanchan Read the report below ‘Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind’ rosy.seque...@timesgroup.com <mailto:rosy.seque...@timesgroup.com> Mumbai : Bombay high court said the Reserve Bank of India must consider an expert committee’s suggestions and recommendations for making currency notes and coins friendly for the visually challenged. “It is high time the Reserve Bank of India considers it,’’ said Acting Chief Justice Sanjay Gangapurwala and Justice Sandeep Marne on May 3. They heard a 2019 PIL by National Association for the Blind (NAB) to direct RBI to introduce “blind-friendly” currency notes/coins as the new currency and coins are difficult to distinguish on touch. In September 2022, RBI said Delhi HC had constituted a committee. On May 3, RBI’s advocateDhaval Patil said the report had not yet been tabled. “There cannot be any dispute that the currency and mints have to be disabled user-friendly,’’ they said. They noted that after the PIL was filed, RBI came out with some measures and introduced coins that are “visually impaired friendly” and a mobile application. Advocate Uday Warunjikar, for NAB, said there are some issues with operating the app with regard to volume and the app does not work in crowded places and on trains and buses. “Respondent (RBI) certainly has to take steps so that the visually impaired persons can distinguish the currency. In fact, as the committee was already appointed, we are waiting for that report, because the same would be the suggestions and /or recommendations ofthe experts,” they said. The judges directed that no sooner the report is received, it must be submitted to the court or else they proceed with the matter on the basis of petition and replies as “the matter cannot be adjourned in perpetuity”. They also sought a reply on the shortcomings in the app and posted the hearing on June 23, “as a last chance for the responden -- Disclaimer: 1.

Re: [AI] Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind'
Hello, earlier also I have written on this subject many times. Actually the
point is that neither the Judiciary, nor the law makers, nor the RBI is in a
position to comprehend the problem of the Vidually impaired. The things are
getting more complicated because the old and new coins and notes are
simultaniously in circulation. There are at least four different five rupee
coins and four different two rupee coins in circulation. Similarly, the ten
rupee, twenty rupee, fifty rupee and hundred rupee notes each of two different
sizes are in circulation. Priviously I used to challange the sighted people to
confuse me about the notes. But now I challange myself to identify the notes
without getting confused. All these coins and notes should be abolished and
only a single set of coins and notes should be newly introduced. But the
government would never do this. Professor Shyam M. Sayanekar

I think I need to clarify.
1. I copied a Times of India
article about a pending case in Mumbai by the NAB regarding coins etc.
2. The Bombay High Court
Judges were informed by RBI that they are waiting for a Report.
3. This is the report on which
amar and George have worked as a part of the Delhi High Court matter.
4. So the Bombay High Court
matter will rely on this report. I have explained to Amar how it will really
work.
5. We cannot do anything
further at this stage unless this report is bad. It is currently out of our
hands and no point in now commenting.
6. What the newspaper article
also said was that the Bombay Court has asked for a report on the ap for
recognising currency. So I presumed that it is referring to Mani.
7. Only Harish has commented
about this Ap. If we have to help this matter and ourselves then we must do a
proper evaluation and send it to the NAB or If NAB India is on this list then
they can pick it up and give good information to their lawyer.
