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!
Emily.
