This query is : Resolved
Sir,I have lost four fingers of my left foot in an accident,but my big toe is intact. I want to know how much physical disability it entails? I want to appear for IAS exam and UPSC demands 40% of disability to get benefits of PH category. I have seen certain documents available on net but they are too technical in nature to comprehend.
Eagerly waiting for reply

Dear Dhruv
You should contact a Doctor in this regard or a lawyer who is able to fight MAC matters.
