Jaitley proposes zero basic customs duty on Braille paper
The move would help in reducing the price of the imported Braille paper.
"A number of assistive devices, rehabilitation aids and other goods for differently-abled (Divyang) persons attract nil basic customs duty. I propose to extend this exemption to Braille paper," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in his Budget speech.
While announcing the proposal, Jaitley said that he was accepting the suggestion of Rahul Gandhi.
Gandhi thanked Jaitley for accepting his recommendation to help visually impaired.
