What SEBI asks, verbatim
Accessibility of workplaces - Are the premises / offices of the entity accessible to differently abled employees and workers, as per the requirements of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016? If not, whether any steps are being taken by the entity in this regard
Disclose accessibility status and steps taken to make workplaces accessible to all and/or compatible with assistive technology devices.
Quoted from the SEBI BRSR Format as amended March 2025, with measurement guidance from the ICAI Background Material on BRSR, Revised Edition 2024, page 107.
In plain English
The company must say whether its offices can be used by people with disabilities, following the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. If it isn’t fully accessible, it should explain what changes it is planning or has already made. This information usually comes from the facilities or human‑resources department.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists the percentage of premises that meet the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, broken down by office location and by type of facility (e.g., main office, branch, warehouse). It then details specific remedial actions taken—such as installing ramps, accessible restrooms, tactile signage, and assistive‑technology compatibility—along with timelines, responsible parties, and cost allocations. A common gap is the omission of a post‑implementation audit or user‑feedback mechanism to confirm that the changes are functional for differently‑abled employees.
