How to Solve Fee Payment & Registration Problems?
The biggest disadvantage of applying on last date is – you will face numerous problems before submitting your application successfully.
Candidates had started complaining about two issues from May 21st itself, which we thought of highlighting.They are:
1) SBI PO online payment failure: This is a problem faced by candidates for past few weeks as they are unable to make payment for SBI PO.
Right after authorizing the online payment, a blank screen comes up or the following message:
- “https://www.sbiepay.com/secure/AggMerchantStatusQueryAction” or
- “Transaction booked” or
- “Transaction paid out”
In such situations, here is what you should do.
- Login to the application form & check the status of your previous payment.
- If you see anything else apart from “success” in the fee status, you need to make payment again.
hSBI says, “The amount debited for failed transaction will be refunded back to your account within 3 – 7 working days.”Therefore, there is no need to worry.
The payment links are active 24 hours continuously.So if you still cannot make the fee payment during day time,
- Login to your application after 12 AM midnight & try to complete the payment
- Some candidates were able to successfully transfer the amount between 3 – 6 AM (early morning)
Since SBI has not provided any other alternative mode to submit fees, you should keep trying throughout the day & night too.
2) Slow website/ frequent disconnections: SBI had warned applicants in advance that they are expecting heavy load on their website as the last date approaches.
Here are ways to avoid these issues:
- Access the webpage using computers with broadband internet connection
- Mobile 3g data link goes down often.So avoid using mobile phones.
As time passes, more number of people would start visiting the website making it even harder.Therefore make sure to complete the payment before 9 AM.
