The Supreme Court of India, in a landmark judgment, declared that the right to digital access is a part of the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court highlighted the barriers faced by persons with disabilities in accessing digital services, especially the inaccessibility of biometric devices used for eKYC processes. Citing the Representation of People with Disabilities Act, 2016, and international obligations under the UNCRPD and Incheon Strategy, the Court directed regulatory bodies like RBI, SEBI, and TRAI to amend digital KYC processes. This includes introducing alternative "liveness" checks, accepting thumb impressions, and allowing offline KYC. Additionally, it mandated compliance with accessibility standards for digital platforms, sensitization of officials, and the establishment of grievance redressal mechanisms. The Court emphasized the importance of public awareness campaigns on accessible KYC methods. This judgment reinforces the expansion of fundamental rights to include digital accessibility for all citizens.
