The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, India, headed by Justice Shri Arun Mishra issued an Advisory to the Central and State governments and UT Administrations to ensure the welfare of Transgender Persons. The Commission has prepared this Advisory after wide discussions with various stakeholders and its Core Group members on LGBTI issues.
The rights of Transgender Persons have gained recognition and legal validity through the enactment of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, which aims to safeguard and uphold their rights.
In the Advisory, the Commission has observed that one of the primary concerns faced by Transgender Persons in the country is that despite the legal advancements, they continue to grapple with discrimination at various places like employment disparities, limited access to healthcare, and exclusion from social circles.
The Commission, in a letter to the Secretaries in the Department of Social Justice & Empowerment and Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Chief Secretaries of States and Administrators of Union Territories, has asked for the implementation of its recommendations in letter and spirit, and sought Action Taken Report within two months.
The Advisory has focused on six key areas for action by the Centre, States and UT Administrations to ensure transgender persons get access to education, healthcare, employment, inclusivity, welfare, and grievance redressal.

Some of the important recommendations, among others, are as follows;
• Single trans child of a deceased government employee or pensioner, may be treated as an unmarried daughter for the family pension and other benefits;
• Transgender persons should be allowed to inherit ancestral agricultural land;
• Multi-purpose identity cards may be provided to the Transgenders to help the access government schemes and other benefits;
• The concerned Ministry should ensure the timely release of the funds allocated to Garima Greh;
• Set up Transgender Welfare Board under the Section 10(1) of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Rules, 2020;
• Include ‘Third Gender’ as an identity category of the Transgender community seeking jobs in various civil services and to enable them to apply and appear in entrance examinations. Besides, wide publicity is to be given to the National Career Service Portal amongst the Transgender community;
• Forms which require candidates to indicate their sex must provide ‘Third Gender’ as a category in the options;
• The Ministry of Corporate Affairs may consider incorporating welfare activities of Transgender Persons explicitly in Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013, which provides the list of activities that can be included for making expenditures for Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) activities.
