- Litigation: The Group recognized a claim recoverable from Canara Bank aggregating to 15.41 Crores related to an income tax refund for Assessment Year 2016-17. This recovery is subject to distribution to Financial Creditors after adjustment of eligible costs, in line with the approved Resolution Plan.
