Deterministic Recovery Guidance

Strict Directive: DO NOT RETRYRule: RULE_05_IN_FLIGHT_REMITTER_DEBITED

Money Debited - Banking Network Reconciling

DO NOT PAY AGAIN. Your account was debited; settlement is underway.

What We Know

  • ₹2,800 was debited from HDFC Bank.
  • Bank Reference (UTR): 908234120915
  • Elapsed time: 5 minute(s).

What Remains Uncertain

  • Whether the central switch completed transfer to beneficiary bank or will initiate auto-reversal.

Recommended Next Step

Do Not Pay Again - Network Sync In Progress

Payment networks take up to 15 minutes to reconcile timed-out requests. If you retry now, you may be charged twice.

Alternative Escalation: You can raise a pre-filled ticket with your bank UTR.
App Cooling-Off Window (Product Design Threshold) (15 minutes): Client-side synchronization window allowing banking networks to reconcile before prompting dispute escalation. This is a product UX decision and NOT an RBI regulatory requirement.
