# SEBI Accessibility & RPwD Act 2016

> India

The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (Section 46) makes accessibility of services and information a statutory duty in India, and SEBI has extended that mandate to its regulated entities' investor-facing platforms. We audit onboarding, KYC, trading and investor journeys to WCAG 2.2 with RPwD- and SEBI-aligned documentation.

## Who needs to comply

Stockbrokers, AMCs, RTAs, depositories and any Indian entity with a statutory accessibility duty.

## Key requirements

- **Statutory obligation** - RPwD Act Section 46 and SEBI circulars make accessibility legally required.
- **Investor journeys** - Onboarding, KYC, trading, statements and grievance flows covered.
- **Regulator-ready evidence** - Documentation aligned to CCPD and SEBI supervisory expectations.
