Banking facilities to visually impaired must: RBI
The Reserve Bank of India has directed all the scheduled commercial banks, excluding Regional Rural Banks (RRBs), to provide banking facilities to the visually challenged without any discrimination.
The facilities include cheque book facility including third party cheques, ATM facility, Net banking facility, locker facility, retail loans and credit cards, the RBI stated.
The banks may also advise their branches to render all possible assistance to the visually challenged for availing the various banking facilities as they are legally competent to contract.
It may be recalled that the Honourable Court of Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities had passed orders on September 5, 2005, which instructed banks to 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.
