Explanatory Note for Accessibility Rules for Information and Communication Technology Products,
Services, documentation and digital content
This draft notification has been prepared in pursuance to the directions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of
India in RajiveRaturi vs. Union of India, which, inter alia, directed the Union Government to delineate
mandatory rules in accordance with section 40 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (49 of
2016) (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act') by segregating the non-negotiable rules from the expansive
guidelines prescribed under rule 15 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Rules, 2017 (hereinafter
referred to as the 'Rules'). The Hon'ble Court observed the need for a uniform, enforceable and non-
negotiable accessibility floor to secure the right to accessibility as an integral component of the right to life
for persons with disabilities.
The objective of the present amendment is to prescribe a mandatory accessibility floor for information and
communication technology (ICT) products and services, including websites, mobile applications, digital
content and electronic documents, software, hardware and ICT-based consumer products and public
facilities, in accordance with Indian Standard IS 17802 (Part 1): 2021 and IS 17802 (Part 2): 2022, as
published by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), as amended from time to time.
In view of the scale and diversity of ICT products and services, the amendment adopts a phased compliance
approach. It specifies a set of non-negotiable clauses of IS 17802 (Part 1): 2021 to be complied with within
prescribed timelines, based on the turnover of the responsible establishment, as the minimum accessibility
floor. It further clarifies that all establishments shall comply with the referenced standards in their entirety
within the overall timeline prescribed under section 46 of the Act.
The amendment also introduces a uniform compliance mechanism through mandatory Accessibility
Conformance Reports (ACRs) to be furnished and publicly disclosed for covered products and services,
with additional obligations to re-test and update ACRs upon major changes. Enforcement is aligned with
the penalty framework under the Act and provides for remediation within a defined period, without
prejudice to regulatory action by sectoral regulators and competent authorities.
These rules are intended to reduce regulatory ambiguity, strengthen accountability, and enable consistent
monitoring of ICT accessibility, while providing for periodic review to reflect revisions to the referenced
BIS standards.

BIS(278), dated the 24th December, 2021, as amended from time to time; and
(ii) IS 17802 (Part 2): 2022, notified vide Notification No. HQ-PUB013/1/2020-PUB-
BIS(358), dated the 4th May, 2022, as amended from time to time.
Provided that every establishment shall also comply with any accessibility requirements or
guidelines notified by the sectoral regulator or competent authority governing the item
specified in clause (B), in addition to the standards specified in clause (C). In the event of
any inconsistency between these rules and sectoral standards / guidelines, the higher or
more stringent accessibility requirement shall prevail.
(D) Accessibility Conformance Report.-
(1) Every establishment shall ensure that an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is
furnished for items specified in clause (B), whether developed in-house, procured from
suppliers or developers, or otherwise made available by the establishment in accordance
with the timelines prescribed in sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) of clause (E), subject to the
Explanation under sub-clause (6) in the case of content and user-generated content
platforms, and except in respect of archived content clearly identified as such under clause
(E). The ACR shall be supplied free of cost along with other supplied documentation and
shall be made available on the website/mobile application of the establishment for
consumers to make an informed choice about accessibility compliance.
(2) The ACR shall be made available in both human-readable and machine-readable
formats. The human-readable version shall be published in an accessible format such as
HTML or accessible PDF, and the machine-readable version shall be published in a
structured format such as JSON, XML, or such other format as may facilitate monitoring
and automated verification. Failure to publish the ACR in both formats shall constitute
non-compliance with this clause. In the event of any inconsistency between the human-
readable and machine-readable versions of an ACR, the human-readable version shall
prevail, without prejudice to the obligation of the establishment to ensure that both versions
are accurate and consistent.
(3) The ACR shall describe the extent of conformance with IS 17802 (Part 1): 2021, as
tested in accordance with the conformance criteria and test procedures set out in IS 17802

requirement in accordance with the categories and terminology specified in IS 17802.
Supporting explanations shall include, wherever relevant, references to specific test results,
methods used, or examples sufficient to enable verification of the conformance claim. Each

testing, manual inspection, and/or assistive technology testing was carried out, and the
scope and limitations of such methodology. Supporting explanations shall be requirement-
specific and shall not consist of generic or blanket statements of conformance.

whether furnished initially under sub-paragraph (1) of this clause or updated under sub-
paragraph (6) of this clause, for accuracy, completeness, and conformity with the most
recent BIS standards, prior to the deployment or launch of any item mentioned in clause
(B). The establishment shall ensure, on the basis of such review, that any identified non-
conformities are corrected before release. Reliance on a supplier or developer's ACR
without such due diligence shall not absolve the establishment of liability under this clause.
(6) The ACR shall be kept up-to-date, and accessibility conformance shall be re-tested
against the most recent versions of IS 17802, whenever there is any major change in any of
the items specified in clause (B) that may affect accessibility. Such re-testing and updating
of the ACR shall be completed prior to the deployment of the upgraded or modified item.
The updated ACR shall clearly indicate the date of revision. Where an establishment
determines that a change does not constitute a major change, it shall maintain records of
such assessment and make them available for inspection by the competent authority on
request. Failure to maintain or produce such records shall be deemed non-compliance with
this clause. Provided that, in any event, every establishment shall undertake a fresh review,
testing, and updating of the ACR at least once in every two years from the date of the last
ACR, notwithstanding that no major change has occurred.
Explanation.— For the purposes of this clause, the obligation to furnish an ACR in respect
of content shall apply to the underlying system, platform, content management system,
video publishing workflow, or authoring tool that generates or exports content (including

apply to the platform and not to each individual item of user-generated content. The
platform shall ensure that it provides the capability to embed accessibility features (such as
captions, transcripts, alternative text, audio description, and accessible formats, including
for documents, structured or tagged content and logical reading order), and shall take
reasonable steps to inform and guide users, at the time of upload, to generate accessible
content. The platform shall also disclose, in its ACR, the measures and tools it provides to
support accessibility of user-generated content.
Provided that where such capability is not fully available as on the date of commencement
of these rules, the platform shall implement the necessary features within a period not
exceeding six months from the date of notification of these rules.

prepared, reviewed, or verified by individuals or organisations possessing demonstrable
domain expertise in accessibility evaluation and testing, including familiarity with the
