NOTE: This is some information which can benefit people with disability in India. I have typed in the information from the booklet of NHFDC which I received through them after sending them a letter. I appreciate the quick reply.

The loan process is too long and unnecessary documents are required like a C.A.s project report for buying a vehicle for commercial hiring. A 'Tourist driving' license of father or brother is required. What would one do if he or she doesn’t have father or brother? After loan passes one needs 2 Govt or semi govt employees. Who will give guarantee if one doesn’t know any such employee? Mainly how can a person in wheelchair go frequently to loan office as there’s no accessible transport?
I am trying for this loan from may and many of my friends & relatives have been at least 15 times to the office getting forms etc. Atlast loan passed i will update soon about the procedure;

 

There are some spelling mistakes so kindly adjust.
