Hi Dusmant, Hope this approach works for you. Note that Mifos doesn't like it when you create multiple clients with the same name and birthdate. You can work around this by a variety of ways-- including changing all the birthdates of the "shadow/fake" clients to something like 1/1/1900 or changing their names to Vijay Kumar-Monthly. It might be good to have something in the name that identifies them as a monthly client.
As I mentioned, this work around may have a lot of impact on your reporting-- so be aware of that. Let us know if this works and if you have any other questions!
