Separate Rules for each Industry / Product
Too much emphasis on Government
mandated Form leaving no room for flexibility
with the Company management.
More than one Rule for multi-product
companies
A compliance view rather than converting it
into a management tool
No mechanism in MCA to know all companies
presently covered under CARR

Selective and ad hoc approach led to a sense of
discrimination
