The draft standards are a great step forward. I suggest ensuring that all public financial platforms—like those under NCGTC (e.g., CGFMU and ECLGS)—adhere to WCAG 2.1 guidelines. This will help entrepreneurs with disabilities access credit schemes without barriers. Accessibility audits, simple language, screen reader support, and mobile responsiveness should be mandatory. Inclusive digital infrastructure isn’t just compliance—it’s empowerment.
