Section 51 of RPWD Act, 2016 : Section 51: Application And Grant Of Certificate Of Registration

Explanation using Example

Imagine a local non-profit organization, "Accessible Horizons," which aims to provide vocational training and employment support to individuals with disabilities. They want to open a new training center and need to obtain a certificate of registration as per the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.

The organization fills out the application form prescribed by their State Government and submits it to the competent authority. Within ninety days, the authority reviews the application, inspects the facilities to ensure they are suitable for persons with disabilities, and verifies that the organization meets all the required standards set by the state.

After a satisfactory review, "Accessible Horizons" receives their certificate of registration, which is valid for a period specified by the State Government. This certificate is then prominently displayed at their training center. A couple of years later, before the certificate expires, the organization applies for renewal, at least sixty days before the validity period ends, to continue their services without interruption.
