<h1>Securities Market Platforms Must Follow RPwD Act 2016 for Digital Accessibility Compliance Including WCAG 2.1 Standards</h1> All entities regulated under the securities market are mandated to ensure their digital platforms comply with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and related rules, focusing on accessibility for persons with disabilities. Compliance includes adherence to specified sections of the Act, established accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.1, and Indian government guidelines. Regulated entities must appoint certified accessibility auditors, conduct audits, remediate findings, and submit periodic compliance reports. Digital platforms must incorporate features like sign language, captions, and accessible document formats. KYC processes must accommodate disabled users with alternatives and mandatory disability status fields. Entities must designate nodal officers for oversight and implement grievance redressal mechanisms. Accessibility requirements must be integrated into procurement and development of digital solutions. These measures aim to ensure inclusive participation in the securities market and are effective immediately from the circular's issuance date.
