What If JAM 2027 Payment Is Deducted but Not Updated?

Candidates should not immediately make another payment if the amount has been deducted but the payment status is not reflected in JOAPS.

If the amount has been debited from the candidate's bank account but JOAPS does not acknowledge the payment, the brochure states that the amount will be credited back to the candidate's account within 10 working days.
