Uppal records 40.05% uncollectables and 9.46% anomalies, while Quthbullapur has 36.60% uncollectables against 9.68% anomalies.The figures show that Greater Hyderabad dominates Telangana’s uncollectable-form pool but not its anomaly numbers. The report does not specify the reasons for forms being classified as uncollectable.
