Accepting a suggestion of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today proposed removal of 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.
