Take specimen spelling in both languages on form 6 and 001C etc

In EPICs, names are spelt in both English and Bengali/Hindi/Nepali. In Form 6, there is no option of indicating the spelling of name in an alternative language. 

So, it is suggested that while taking applications in Form 6 and/or 001C, specimen spelling of the applicant's name may be taken on a blank portion of the Form itself. This will be useful while doing data-entry. 

This can also be done at the hearing stage  - for those who are called for hearing.

Sir,
1)Is this provision of obtaining english spelling of name on applications compulsory for ALL -- or only for english knowing applicants?
2) Applications received upto 16.11.08 -- Form6=4624/ Form 7=159/ Form 8= 1452/ Form 8A= 139
3)Photo taken in PEC upto 16.11.08 -- New 659/ Dup 91/ Corr200.
Yours faithfully

1) The manuscript this time would be written in both languages that appear on the EPIC. This is because the EPIC database and the Roll database have recently been merged into one. So, in case an applicant cannot give his/her name's English spelling, the ERO will have to do so.
2-3) Seen, thanks.
