A regulatory circular mandates all entities regulated by the securities market regulator to ensure their digital platforms comply with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and related rules, emphasizing accessibility for persons with disabilities. The entities must conduct accessibility audits by certified professionals, remediate findings within six months, and submit compliance reports annually. Digital platforms must adhere to standards such as WCAG 2.1, Indian Government Website guidelines, and Indian accessibility standards. Entities are required to appoint nodal officers for digital accessibility, establish grievance redressal mechanisms, and incorporate accessibility features like sign language videos and screen reader compatibility. Digital KYC processes must include accommodations for disabled users, and procurement contracts must mandate accessibility compliance. These measures follow a Supreme Court ruling affirming digital access as a fundamental right and aim to create an inclusive digital ecosystem within the securities market.
