What should I do if payment fails or money is deducted?
Learn what to do if your payment fails, money is deducted, or category access is not activated.
Sometimes a payment may fail, remain pending, or money may be deducted without access being activated immediately.
This can happen due to bank delay, payment gateway delay, network issue, or payment verification delay.
Common payment situations
Payment issues may happen in different ways.
Payment failed
Your payment may fail during checkout.
In this case, access will not be activated.
You can try again after checking your internet connection, bank account, UPI app, card, or payment method.
Money deducted but payment failed
Sometimes money may be deducted from your bank account, but the payment may still show as failed.
In many cases, the amount is automatically reversed by the bank or payment provider.
This reversal may take some time depending on your bank or payment method.
Payment successful but access not active
If payment is successful but your category access is not active, wait for a short time and refresh the page.
Sometimes payment verification may take a little time.
If access is still not active, contact Quiz Pathshala support with payment details.
What to do after a payment issue
Follow these steps if you face a payment issue.
Step 1: Check payment status
First, check whether the payment was successful, failed, or pending.
You can check:
Payment screen
Bank message
UPI app
Card statement
Email or SMS from payment provider
Step 2: Wait for a short time
If money was deducted but access is not active, wait for a short time.

Step 3: Refresh and login again
Refresh the page or logout and login again.

Open the same category that you purchased.
