Links to the circulars : MCX Circular on Visually Impaired Investors May 2015 <http://www.mcx-sx.com/SX-Content/Circulars/2015/May/Circular-2997.pdf> (pdf) BSE Circular on Visually Impaired Investors May 2015 <http://www.bseindia.com/markets/MarketInfo/DispNoticesNCirculars.aspx?Noticeid=%7b852167C1-1A77-4C88-B57E-7DDD04750B2C%7d¬iceno=20150512-9&dt=05%2f12%2f2015&icount=9&totcount=19&flag=0> NSE Circular on Visually Impaired Investors May 2015 <http://www.nseindia.com/content/circulars/INSP29683.pdf> (pdf) They each refer to some earlier circulars from SEBI and inhouse as well, so perhaps it would be a good idea to collate them and share for further advocacy Amar?
