All Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) working in the Disability Sector Subject: - Incentives to employers in the private sector for providing employment to the persons with disabilities - Regarding. Sir/Madam, I am directed to say that the most important aspect of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities is their economic rehabilitation, which can be achieved by providing employment or through self-employment. Government has been promoting the selfemployment of persons with disabilities by providing vocational training and loan on concessional rates through National Handicapped Finance and Development Corporation (NHFDC). Employment of persons with disabilities in the Government is promoted through reservation. Section 33 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 provides for a reservation of 3% in the vacancies in identified posts (1% each for persons with blindness or low vision, hearing impairment and locomotor disability or cerebral palsy) in the Government establishments including the Public Sector Undertakings. To promote employment of 1 persons with disabilities in the expanding private sector, it has been decided that incentives be provided to the private sector employers. 2. Section 41 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 provides for incentives to employers to ensure that at least five percent of their work force was composed of persons with disabilities. The National Policy for Persons with Disabilities, which was adopted in 2006 also lays down that pro-active measures will be taken to provide incentives, awards, tax exemptions etc. to encourage employment of persons with disabilities in private sector. Accordingly, Finance Minister in his Budget Speech had announced a Scheme for employment of physically challenged in the organised sector. 3. After consideration, the Government has approved the enclosed scheme of providing incentives to the employers in the private sector. Under the scheme, the employees with disabilities covered under the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 and the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999 and working in the private sector, with monthly wage up to Rs.25000/- per month would be covered. The scheme would be applicable to all the employees with disabilities, who are appointed on or after 1.4.2008. 4. It is requested that the above scheme may please be brought to the notice of all concerned including the State Chambers of Commerce & Industry, District Industry Centres, Employment Exchanges, Special Employment Exchanges, Vocational Training Centres etc. so that persons with all types of disabilities get opportunity for employment in the private sector. 5.
