I understand you have paid the PGCET fees, but it shows the transaction has already been processed and the payment details haven’t been updated yet.
This can happen due to a delay in payment gateway confirmation or a technical glitch.
First, check your bank statement or UPI/SMS to confirm the amount was deducted. If it was, take a screenshot or download the transaction receipt.
Visit the official PGCET website and look for a payment grievance or support/helpdesk section. Email them with your registration ID, payment reference number, and screenshot.
