Dear All, Post filing of this case which is pending before the CCPD for quite some time now, IRCTC has made some crucial changes on its website to improve its accessibility for visually impaired users. Our friend and the original applicant Mr. Bhawani Shankar Verma has updated today that IRCTC has now introduced 6 digits OTP being sent to user's mobile and the user has to type it on the desired field.
Though the visual Captcha still exist, but, there is a checkbox where a user can opt for either captcha or OTP. The date field also made accessible now and the users can type the date on DD-MM-YYYY format. However, still the "from and to" station field is not accessible. After typing the station name, the list of stations appears, is not accessible with jaws or other screen readers. many graphics and buttons are not leveled with appropriate text. We would request you to please share your recent experiences of using the IRCTC website and let us know if there are still accessibility issues being faced by users with visual disabilities. The matter comes up for final hearing before the CCPD on 26th Feb 2015 and issues could still be addressed. The IRCTC & CRIS have been very cooperative in this entire effort of making their new website accessible ever since this was brought to their knowledge through this court case. Please send you final comments by night of 25th Feb 2015. -- Warm regards, Subhash Chandra Vashishth Advocate Mobile: +91 (11) 9811125521 Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
