@whatonly I found this unboxing video on YouTube.They are claiming to be selling 2019 notes. But when I contacted Shubhra Ranjan team regarding the postal notes they said they are dispatching 2018 notes. So I a bit confused here..
I had bought her postal notes in Jan 2019. They were not the ones shown in video. Later in 2020 i joined her test series, she herself had uploaded a few(not for all topics) revised notes on her drive link....the ones shown in this video are same as them. And as@whatonly says, they do have spelling errors....both the postal one and the one she uploaded on drive.
Mostly the photocopy notes available at xerox shops are same as the ones they (SR's coaching)send by post. If you want an error free copy, you should try contacting someone who attended her classroom course and made notes himself/herself(as suggested by few toppers).
Having said that, even the notes with all the spelling errors are pretty understandable... and when supplemented a little with a few standard books(for certain topics), they do provide comprehensive coverage of syllabus.
What books you used for paper 2? I have mostly done part A from Shubhra ranjan notes and Andrew Heywood's Global politics. For part B I am referring SR notes only...I don't think I will be able to write even average quality answers for this part with those notes. Satyam Gandhi (AIR 10) recommends onlyias IR material for paper 2 part b... What would you recommend? How to go about it?

Yaar i read both Heywood and Baylis for paper 2 and i extensively read on ORF purely out of interest, which really helped. Obviously not feasible for everyone, but if you can get your hands on Baylis and Smith its a brilliant book. Never made any separate notes just underlined in the book itself (which if I would do in an alternate universe). For part 2 i would advise you to remember the points from mains 365 and add some of the part 1 ke thinkers itself as well as supplement with C Raja Mohan, Happymon Jacob, Hash V Pant. Beech beech m daal dena. I also remembered few keywords from diplomats and FS like Amb Nirupama Rao, Amb Vijay Gokhale (brilliant for China analysis), EAM, former NSA etc and i had googled a few book reviews which really helped in my answers. But again all of this remains unproven till the time mains result is out, and more specifically mark sheet.
Reading Mains 365 itself is good idea. Will skim through Baylis and Smith once. Thanks buddy!
