I totally agree with these views and would like to add a few prtinent points. 1 MAPIN processing is done by only a few agencies who as of today are booked till May 04. How does one fulfill the requirement by 31/3/05. 2 Out of these agencies appointed, a few of them are market participants. These agencies will misuse this database to contact and pester people whose names appear with them for doing business through them. 3 Old persons ie senior citizens should be exempted from obtaining MAPIN. These factors only reflect that persons in authority have not properly applied their mind
