If the counseling fee payment was deducted from your account but the payment status isn't reflecting on the application portal, it's a common issue. You should first check your bank statement to confirm the deduction, and then wait up to 24 hours for the status to update. If the status still doesn't update, contact your bank or the payment gateway provider to confirm the transaction was successful. If they confirm the transaction, it could be a technical issue with the application portal. You can also try to contact the college or institution's helpdesk for assistance.
