Does anyone know what legal hurdles can legitimately stop an Opt-out organ
donation program in India?
An example would be having an Opt-out box on the driver's license or aadhar
card.
Also, would there be any privacy concerns?

Ridiculous as it may be, people might be more inclined to pay for this than
to donate to a charity. One taps into our feelings of guilt, pity and other
such negative feelings and the other taps into a sense of fun.

It is a big hassle to open accounts. Even a bank like SBI which says that
it is 'A bank for every Indian' doesn't want to open accounts of low value

Open Source is the way to go if you want to save money. I do have my doubts if
your brother will be allowed to use it. Most franchises have to follow the
software recommended by the corporate dept.
www.sourceforge.net is a good place to start researching your options.
