    Hi Madhu,

    We did some thing like this before:

    1. Set up an automated bulk deletion job to delete a certain custom entity record every month.

    2. Create a plugin that triggers every time that custom entity record gets deleted.

    3. Insert update Contact statements on that plugin.

    Hope that helps,

    Hi Madhu,

    If the CRM records are needs to be updated depend on some external data source then please check below solutions.

    ​1. You  can create an windows service which can be schedule to be executed every month.
