The MHT CET 2026 registration is open, but many students are facing problems paying the application fee online. If your money has been taken from your bank account and your application form still shows as incomplete, here's what you can do.
Why Fee Payment Issues Happen
Technical problems can cause the MHT CET registration fee payment to fail. Common reasons include:
- Slow or bad internet connection during payment.
- Too many people trying to use the website at once.
- Delays from the bank or the payment system.
- Closing or refreshing the page while paying.
Sometimes, the money is deducted from your account, but the website doesn't show the payment as received right away.
What to Do If Payment Fails
If you face this problem, follow these steps:
1. Wait a Bit
Payment confirmations can sometimes take 24 to 48 hours to show up. Log in again after a day or two to check your payment status before doing anything else.
2. Don't Pay Again Immediately
Avoid paying the fee a second time unless the website clearly tells you to. Paying twice can make getting a refund more complicated.
3. Check Your Bank Details
Keep a copy (like a screenshot or PDF) of your bank statement that shows the money was deducted. Also, write down the transaction or reference number .
4. Check Application Status Online
Go back to the official MHT CET website ( cetcell.mahacet.org ) and log in. Sometimes, the website updates your application status automatically after checking with the bank.
5. Contact MHT CET Helpdesk
If the issue is still not resolved after 48 hours, you should contact the official MHT CET helpdesk. You can reach them by:
- Phone numbers (during working hours)
When you contact them, make sure to have the following details ready:
- Your Application ID
- Your Name
- Your registered mobile number and email ID
- Transaction ID and the date you made the payment
- Proof of payment
6. Check for Refunds
In some cases, if the payment doesn't get linked to your application, the bank might automatically refund the money within 5 to 7 working days .
