Hello Aspirant,

This is a critical situation since today is the last date for payment. Here's what you should do immediately:

1. Do NOT make another payment. Your original payment might still be reconciling. Making another payment risks double deduction.

2. Contact the IB ACIO Helpline IMMEDIATELY. Their helpline number is 022-61087513 . It operates from 10 AM to 6 PM, Monday to Saturday. Even if it's past 6 PM, keep trying first thing tomorrow morning.

3. Gather Payment Proof: Keep your UPI transaction ID, bank statement showing the debit, and any screenshots of the payment success and the "payment pending" status ready.

4. Keep Trying Helpdesk: Continue trying the helpdesk. They might be overwhelmed due to the deadline.

5. Check Application Status: Log in to your IB ACIO account frequently. Sometimes, it takes a few hours for the payment status to update.

6. Official Notification: Refer to the official IB ACIO 2025 notification. It usually has details or FAQs about payment issues.

Since it's the last date, keep trying the helpline as your primary action. Explain the situation clearly and provide all transaction details.
