Hi Ajay,

No. The second clause of Schema Component Constraint: Particle Correct
states:
2 If {max occurs} is not unbounded, that is, it has a numeric value,
then all of the following must be true:
2.1 {min occurs} must not be greater than {max occurs}.
2.2 {max occurs} must be greater than or equal to 1.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#p-props-correct
When moving from an XML representation of a particle to the particle
schema component, the {min occurs} property is taken directly as the
value of the minOccurs attribute -- it isn't altered to bring it into
line with the maxOccurs attribute.
Cheers,
Jeni
