Dear Prateek, You are absolutely right, due to the lack of awareness only the bank people are denying so many facilities, For obtaining net banking facility I did produce the circular from the RBI The incharge person SBM told me that I am not denying any facility on the basis of your handicappedness, but how it is possible to you to work on your own and what if any mishap occur. Then I had to take my laptop and demonstrate to him about the screen reader and how a VI can use the computer without the help, then he convinced and without any trouble he avail me the facility.
