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.

‘Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind’
[email protected] 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
