# Disability law fails private sector employees regularly 2026-08-08T22:42:38+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A lawyer and disability rights activist reports two cases of private sector discrimination. In one, a food delivery employee who acquired a disability in service was refused reinstatement. In another, a man with multiple sclerosis was simply asked to leave, with no accommodation offered. The RPwD Act legally obligates all employers to provide reasonable accommodation, but enforcement is weak. State Commissioners for Persons with Disabilities can only recommend, not penalise. The Supreme Court has called for dedicated legislation on private sector discrimination, but none exists. The author argues that without financial incentives for employers, rights remain on paper. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Tags: disability rights, discrimination, enforcement, private sector, RPwD Act, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/disability-law-fails-private-sector-employees-regularly/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
