Team TCS – MCA 21
it is quite sad to know that tenure of contract of TCS with MCA21 in (public private partnership)has come to an end.TCS did tremendeously great job which is really appreciable. we just hope infosys will come out with positive changes.
One of the best e governance projects which is an user friendly one. It saved lots of time, energy and tons of papers in the last 6 years. time bound delivery was ensured in most of the cases. Sense of compliance was motivated because no on can escape from the mighty data base and its utility in pointing out the non compliance. Being one of the persons associated in the pilot run at Coimbatore I am really saddened to part TCS. Hope Infosys will make all stakeholders not feel parting of TCS. Thanks to TCS. Best wishes for Infosys
Infosys is globally great name in the field of Information Technology. Now we will feel managed and timely e-filings through Infosys supports in many untouched areas (like; Easily and Authoritative information tracking about filing of Form 23B for any Company, whether filed or not, if filed then SRN as well).
Best wishes to Infosys to go ahead…
Trust that Infosys will improve the working and services and add many other new services. Wish them all success in this mission
We professionals were waiting for this harassment by TCS at the MCA website to end. The quality of their service was deplorable and MCA never bothered to do anything about. Best wishes to Infosys.
