Binny, What I was thinking is the feature might work the following
* Standard permission for editing the birthdate or not (ie, don't make this a configuration option but a permission option) * Feature for India that when turned on, has a new field "Age". This would work with DOB and when filling in the customer profile, the user could enter in either of the two details (IE, either one would pass the profile verification and let the account be created). Does that make sense? So I think what you originally requested would be the first step and probably easiest, just trying to record down what might be the most optimum in the future.
