Hindi also on a computer. In this situation, some offices have desired to know from the Department of Official Language as

regard the following clarification is given:—
"If in an office only word-processing or only data-processing or both types of work is being done on a computer
and a facility exists for doing that work in accordance with the Official Language Rules in Hindi or in Hindi/English,
either through a software or a hardware (GIST Card/GIST Terminal) or a mix of the two, whichever is considered
appropriate, than such a computer will be considered bilingual one. It is also necessary to have with such a
computer a bilingual key-board and a dot-matrix printer or a laser printer, as may work with that option for printing."
3. All the Ministries/Departments are requested to take suitable action on the above instructions and bring to the
notice of their attached and subordinate offices and undertakings, nationalised banks atc., owned and controlled by them
and ansure compliance.
