I paid twice due to transaction failure. How do I get back the excess fees paid?

If any applicant has paid the application fee more than once, due to technical issues and the same has also been deducted from his/her bank account, then the excess fees paid by the applicant will be refunded. In order to get the refund, the applicant has to write an email to mpst.palakkad@sbi.co.in with the following details: name, application number, transaction reference numbers with proof of payments made, date and time of remittances. Refunds will be initiated upon verification of the details sent by the candidate and ideally this may take 10 working days from the date of receipt of mail.

Can I pay the registration fee by a demand draft (DD) or Cheque?

No. The payment should be made online only. There is no provision for payment through DD or Cheque or any other mode.
