Hello, earlier also I have written on this subject many times. Actually the
point is that neither the Judiciary, nor the law makers, nor the RBI is in a
position to comprehend the problem of the Vidually impaired. The things are
getting more complicated because the old and new coins and notes are
simultaniously in circulation. There are at least four different five rupee
coins and four different two rupee coins in circulation. Similarly, the ten
rupee, twenty rupee, fifty rupee and hundred rupee notes each of two different
sizes are in circulation. Priviously I used to challange the sighted people to
confuse me about the notes. But now I challange myself to identify the notes
without getting confused. All these coins and notes should be abolished and
only a single set of coins and notes should be newly introduced. But the
government would never do this. Professor Shyam M. Sayanekar

Mani app should be rejected as inherently failing in basic design and

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.

Read the report below
‘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 23, “as a last
chance for the responden
