On the occasion of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) 2026, the
Department of Financial Services (DFS), Ministry of Finance,
Government of India, reiterates its commitment towards promoting
accessible and inclusive financial services for all citizens,
including Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). DFS has issued
Accessibility Standards and Guidelines for the Banking and Financial
Services Sector which prescribed standards for equitable access of
financial services by the PwDs through physical modes, digital
platforms or phygital mode.
DFS emphasizes that accessibility is not merely a compliance
requirement, but an essential component of customer experience,
digital inclusion, and equitable financial participation. By way of
policy support and periodic trainings on the subject, Financial
Institutions are encouraged to strengthen accessibility awareness to
ensure accessibility integrated into every stage of service delivery
and digital transformation. On this occasion, DFS appeals to all
banks, financial institutions, and stakeholders to work collectively
towards building a barrier-free and inclusive financial ecosystem
where no customer is left behind.
