Dear manish, At least NAB Delhi has been giving out a loan for purchase of computers & softwares for almost six years now. Visually impaired persons can take a loan of upto Rs. 50000 & return it in 18 monthly installments without any interest. More than 100 persons have taken benifit of this scheme. In the recent months, we have been getting more & more applications. This facility is for residents of Delhi only. & we have a 100% recovery record & that too without the use of any agents etc. <smile> Prashant
