The Supreme Court of India delivered a historic verdict: digital accessibility is a fundamental right for all citizens. Every person, regardless of ability, must have equal access to digital financial services.
This decision has fueled the movement toward greater digital inclusivity, especially for regulated financial institutions.
SEBI’s July 31, 2025, circular mandates full compliance by April 30, 2026. All regulated financial entities must meet IS 17802:2021, GIGW 3.0, and WCAG 2.1 standards across websites, mobile apps, and online banking platforms.
For BFSI teams, the deadline is approaching fast, and accessibility compliance requires immediate action.
India’s fintech industry is booming, with over 14,500 fintech companies and 87% digital finance adoption, making it a global leader in the sector. The new accessibility mandate requires financial entities to be compliant by April 30, 2026, a looming deadline that demands immediate action.
Non-compliance could result in:
As the deadline approaches, financial institutions must act now to ensure accessibility compliance across their digital assets.
With the deadline fast approaching, financial institutions need to act now and start accessibility testing.
