Outsourcing and lifestyle

I came across (not by chance) this article today at MercatorNet: Is outsourcing exploitation?. And I think it is quite an interesting read for those of us working in India and who have somebody working under us. Especially of course, if our clients are abroad. And even more importantly, if we have other companies as providers for us.

Outsourcing is definitely helping the life of many people. Slowly the lifestyle is improving in many parts of the world, and the gap between developed and developing countries is becoming smaller.

Some would like it to be quicker: let's work for that. We are the ones supposed to be helping the people working with us or for us to improve society in general.

Re-submitting an eForm

In the latest form I submitted I've been asked to clarify certain points. Now what do I do?

This happened to me this week after submitting Form 1A the other day. Few days after submitting I checked the "Transaction status" and found out that it was "Waiting for Clarification". As far as I had read, it was required to re-submit the form. However, when I tried doing it, the system didn't allow me.

I contacted via e-mail the MCA people and they replied very quickly and to the point after one or two days. Now they had changed my status and I could re-submit the form.

Today, while trying to do so it took me a while to find out how to do it, but finally got it: in the home landing page there are three tabs below the main horizontal menu which say: Services, eForms and MyDocuments. My mistake was to think everything I could do in the site was under the tab services. For re-submit you have to go to "eForms", where you will find a button "eForm Upload". There, if you enter the SRN (Service Request Number) and click the Re-Submit button you will get a Java app window through which you will be able to upload.

Again, make sure you have downloaded and filled up a fresh Form 1A before you re-submit, otherwise, the system will reject you automatically.
