"During the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2019, the group has carried out the process for recovery of outstanding advances by issuing recovery notices to various third parties," the company said.

In the process, the company informed that a few notices were returned undelivered and few notices could not be sent for want of requisite details, it added.
