It also stated, " any member who has made such a contract should disengage immediately after receiving this notification failing which a member found to be in contract thereafter may be liable for disciplinary action by regulatory authorities."

The association also suggested in the letter that adequate and widespread information should be given by the government media cell to the public to be aware of such touts in the digital world whereby they may suffer the burden of wrong treatment, money siphoning from them and subsequent harassment for life if proper treatment in the correct hands has not happened.
