it is not in any provisions of RTI act that a person should submit his/her
disability certificate. so, please discourage such actions by all your
friends unless there is a specific issue with and you need a special
arrangement to be made from PIOs regarding accessibility of information. I
think it happens only with direct inspection of documents by the applicant.
in all other cases, this procedure will bring more negative consequences
than positive ones. keep in mind, many public servants and PIOs think RTI
applications a real disturbances and are not happy with it. if a
considerable number of such applications carry a disability certificates
along with them, they will hastily conclude that "blind people have no work.
so, they will file such applications" and consider the community as a source
of disturbance. so, I request all the members of the list, in the interest
of the community and your own interest, please do not make a reference in an
RTI application that you are blind unless it is highly necessary. the RTI
act makes no concessions to either blind or disabled. sorry if my words have
hurt someone.

Well bro not gone through the provisions of RTI, but when I was
speaking with CIC on some issue, they advised me that one should
enclose disability certificate, so wherever required, necessary
assistance can be provided to insure that the person is able to access
the required information. Including it or not is up to the individual,
as it is not essential.
