Legislation for Disabled Persons' Government Jobs

This question asks to identify the specific legislation that mandates a certain percentage of government jobs for persons with disabilities.

Analysis of Acts

• The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities Protection of Right and Full Participation) Act, 1995 (Option A): This landmark legislation mandated reservation for persons with benchmark disabilities in government establishments. It stipulated that not less than 3% of vacancies should be reserved for persons with disabilities.
• The Right of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (Option B): This Act replaced the 1995 Act. It also mandates reservation for persons with benchmark disabilities. Section 20(1) of this Act specifies that appropriate governments shall ensure at least 4% (this percentage was increased from 3% in the 1995 Act, though the question asks generally about provisions) of vacancies in government jobs are reserved for persons with benchmark disabilities.
• The Employment of Disabled Persons Act (Option C): This is not a specific title of major Indian legislation concerning disability rights and reservations.
• The Disabilities Act (Option D): This is a generic term and not the specific title of the relevant legislation providing for job reservations in India.

Conclusion

Both The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities Protection of Right and Full Participation) Act, 1995, and The Right of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, provide for reservations for persons with disabilities in government employment.
