Namaskar all! So, finally ,I got my awaited online Railway concession certificate. I got it sitting at home on basis of UDID card. Perhaps, I am the first one who got it UDID basis. I got a call today from the concerned department person telling me that your card is ready and can be printed now. I checked my messages and by the time I concluded my conversation with him, I got the required SMS. Due to accessibility issue of Divyangjan application, (although I managed to apply myself by my own), I was not able to get print option using both JAWS as well as NVDA. I called the concerned person again to ask whether it could be really printed, he not only checked it but also sent me the pdf for card printout. So, in short, I always believe, we should talk and interact, try to convince, complaint is the last refuge to take. What happened, I waited for 18 days, I wasn't in hurry, trusted his words that the concerned signatory officer has really retired, took the necessary follow up and the result is there in front of all of us. Here, I take the opportunity to thank Shree Bhavanishankar Verma as he told me that there is the circular of Railways which clearly states that UDID card works if the person is blind, otherwise I was of view of words of divyangjan application manual only saying the same things. Hence, I firmly decided to get card issued on this basis. Railway people here in context were also aware of This circular but not finding the way to implement. Anyway, someone has to start it, and they did and my card is ready. The only thing I did not like here is that my Railway card validity is of 5 years but my UDID is valid for lifetime. When asked about it, he said that this circular came in January and my disability certificate is printed before that, that is April 2024, hence all applicants whose disability certificates issued before the date of this circular will be receiving 5-years validity Railway concession card. He also told that there was no human interference, all is done by the software on submitted documents basis. Logically, I wasn't convinced, but the joy of getting it done UDID basis is really worth and error of 5 years validity instead of lifetime, and Divyangjan software/application/portal rectifications could be done with as time elapses. Now, people could apply and get their cards issued by uploading UDID cards if they're not having Railway concession certificates.
