please suggest the above allowance is applicable for the persons having low vision comes in category of 40% visibility one eye vision is not other having low vision they are not completely blind
Please suggest if the said allowance is applicable for a Visually Impaired employee who is not completely blind, as only “blind” word has been mentioned in all these circulars & orders. Many organisations are interpreting this thing in their own terms & at ground level, few “non blind” , visually handicapped people are getting this allowance, while others are not. A clarification in this regard would be really helpful. Thanks.
