ISRO ICRB 2026 payment showing pending despite successful SBIePay transaction
I applied for the ICRB ISRO recruitment (Advt. No. ISRO:ICRB:01(A-JPA):2026) and paid the ₹500 application fee on 14 August 2026 through UPI/GPay.
The payment receipt initially showed SUCCESS. I also checked the SBIePay transaction tracking page, which shows:
- Transaction date: 14-Aug-2026, 22:19:52
- Amount: ₹500
- Transaction Status: IN CLEARING
- Transaction Status Description: “Transaction is successful further processing is in progress”
- Settlement Date:
-
However, when I log into the ICRB application portal, it still says:
>
I also received an email from ICRB saying that my application is incomplete and/or the application fee has not yet been paid.
I have already raised a payment-status complaint through the portal, but I'm worried because the deadline is 16 August 2026 at 11:55 PM.
Has anyone faced this with ICRB/SBIePay before? Does “IN CLEARING” usually get updated automatically, and should I simply wait for the payment to be reconciled, or is there anything else I should do before the deadline?
I don't want to make another ₹500 payment and end up with a duplicate transaction.
