RBI: ALL NEW ATM TO BE INSTALLED BY
BANKS FROM JULY
TO PROVIDE AUDIBLE INSTRUCTIONS, BRAILLE
KEYPADS
All
new ATMs to be installed by commercial banks from July
2014 onwards would provide audible
instructions and Braille keypads to
customers.
The RBI today issued a directive in this regard which came on its prior advice
to banks in 2009. It said, the Banks should lay down a road map for converting
all existing ATMs as talking ATMs with Braille keypads and the same may be
reviewed from time to time.
The RBI also asked banks to make necessary arrangements to provide all existing
ATMs, future ATMs with ramps so that wheel chair users and persons with
disabilities can easily access them.
Further, it also asked the banks to provide the facilities of magnifying
glasses at all bank branches for the use of persons with low vision.
