No.  In a decision by the Delhi Medical Council dated February 15, 2001, DMC/14/2/2001, the Council observed “Dr. RSV was soliciting patients through distributing unsolicited leaflets as is evident from the complaint and deposition of  Mr M M Paikeday.  As such, Dr. RSV has not complied with MCI Code of Medical Ethics.”

MCI Act 6.1.1 states: “Soliciting of patients directly or indirectly, by a physician, by a group of physicians or by institutions or organisations is unethical.”
