well.

Exactly the same thoughts crossed my mind. The process has become
bureaucratic and less friendly. Just my personal views.

If one goes by the forwarded template, now it seems the CCPD office has
become more bureaucratic.
The requirement of this much details coupled with documents will render
ordinary aggrieved disabled people sufferers perpetually.
Earlier, one could shoot mail to CCPD office detailing grievances and it was
acknowledge without much delay. Anyway, in absence of fulltime commissioner
for ages, the grievance redressal mechanism remains in shambles. Hope ground
realities get better in the days to come.
Note: These are my personal views shared in public interest.
Cheers!

Hi All,
After reading all your complaints last week I had sent emails and hard
copy letters to the concerned parties. I have received the email below.
Please look at points a to g and do send in your complaints too. I
think it is fairly simple and we must all work together.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Inaccessibility of the new Income tax e-filing portal
I am writing to you on behalf of myself and the visually impaired
community in India and I would like to draw your attention to the fact
that the Income Tax e- filing portal has become inaccessible.
The website until recently was fully accessible i.e. a person with
visual disability could file their own Income Tax Returns, check status
etc. They
did not need to depend on others. However the website is badly designed
and executed and the Visually Impaired have lost their privacy and
their independence.
The visually impaired independently operate computers and mobile
phones with the assistance of a screen reader which is a software that
reads aloud the contents on the screen using voice synthesised speech.
However, the current Income Tax e-filing portal cannot be accessed
using the aforementioned screen reading software. Some of the issues
that we are facing include:
1. Post login, the screen reader is unable to interact with the DOM
meaningfully, which is why the navigation elements are not presented
properly.
2. Menus and Submenus are not semantically marked up so the screen
reader does not indicate them as such.
3. Structure of the website is missing therefore headings, paragraphs
etc are not visible to the screen reader.
This is a gross violation of the Rights of Persons With Disabilities
Act, 2016, the rules made thereunder namely; the Rights of Persons
With Disabilities Rules, 2017 and the standards on accessibility of
information, communication and technologies prescribed thereunder
namely; Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (Revised edition,
includes Apps), 2018.
Please take this matter up urgently so that the visually impaired tax
payers do not miss out on the impending deadline.
I look forward to your immediate action failing which I will be
constrained to take legal action against you for the violation of our
fundamental and statutory rights.
Yours faithfully
Kanchan Pamnani
Advocate and Solicitor
