In my case, soft copy of my blindness certificate was sent to the ophthalmologist for verification. I also received SMS after verification.

I don't think there is need actually to approach any court in this matter. I could sympathise with what you have gone through. But wait a bit, I will let you all updated what happens next, since when I sent the messege yesterday, I wasn't aware of the circular posted by Bhavanishankarji, he sent the same circular to me through whatsapp also. and to Vivek: It's fine if we could see the doctor's name and registration number via process you have mentioned, but the thing is if UDID card is acceptable as valid proof, and if the blind person chooses to upload it instead of Rail concession certificate, question of asking doctor's name and registration number should not arise at all. In fact, I feel in any case, be it Rail concession or UDID card, this question of doctor and reg number should be dropped altogether because we are already uploading the documents asked by the portal.

I even provided the prescribed format issued by the Railway Board, duly signed by the doctor from my District Government Civil Hospital. Frankly, I feel disheartened and exhausted dealing with this process. If your matter has already been resolved, I would be very glad to know, because at this stage I have little faith that I will be able to get my ID card anytime soon. I am from Telangana, and unfortunately, the concerned railway officers have been extremely rude throughout. If this continues, I may finally be left with no option but to approach the Hon’ble High Court and seek directions to obtain my rightful certificate.

Applied for Rail Divyangjan card through the portal divyangjanid.Indianrail.gov.in <http://divyangjanid.Indianrail.gov.in> . As it is said on user manual available on the portal, list of required documents for blind people consists of either railway concession certificate or UDID card along with disability certificate and other documents. As I do not have Railway certificate, I uploaded UDID card along with other required stuff. Applied on August 14, and got rejection remark on 19th which is really praiseworthy as they kept pending status only for 4 days. The reason of rejection provided was Railway concession certificate is not uploaded, also, passport size photograph and blindness certificate upload. I lodged the issue with Railways through twitter and mentioned about the reference available on the portal stating either Railway concession certificate or UDID card in case of blind people. What is the need of Railway certificate then? They checked all the details like user manual etc and agreed with me. Also got call from DRM office Bhusawal as our Nashik city comes under that. The person was very polite and asked me to attach Railway certificate because UDID card does not possess any doctor name or registration number which is mandatory to get the card. He again echoed with me that if a blind person attaching UDID card instructed by the manual itself should not be asked doctor's name and registration number in first place. He asked me to withdraw the complaint. After seeing his smile, politeness and willingness to assist, also, his inability to process the application due to nonavailability of doctor's name and registration number, I also do not have any intention of stretching this matter any further. I perhaps might go to hospital in next few days as time permits and take the Railway certificate and upload the same on the portal. I also asked him to see whether any card is issued to any blind person without railway concession certificate, only on basis of UDID card. He told me to give some time to check the same. After this long story, I just want to ask here whether anybody successfully got the card on basis of disability certificate and UDID card only, without railway certificate in picture? I think some got the card on basis of UDID. If so, how they tackled mandatory doctor name and registration number fields? in my case, I wrote doctor name as medical signatory as is on UDID card and doctor registration number as first few alphanumeric letters as on UDID card again.
