Duplicate Payment Issue
Duplicate payments may occur due to internet issues, banking delays or repeated actions on the payment interface. In such cases:

• Check whether the payment has been deducted from the bank or credit card account.
• If the amount has been deducted but is not visible on the panel, contact the support team via the contact form.
• Any duplicate payment for the same exam will be refunded after deducting transaction and processing fees.
