To improve the Emandate registration user experience for your customers:

• Inform your customers that there might be a ₹1 or ₹2 deduction during the authorisation transaction. This amount will be refunded to your customer in 3-5 bank working days.

5. How can I cancel my customer's registered mandates?🔗

For all mandates registered under ENACH, NPCI offers a facility to cancel the mandates which are either not in use or are requested by the customers to be cancelled.

You can initiate cancellation and track the status by following these steps:

• Delete the mandate token using Razorpay Dashboard or APIs.

• Razorpay will initiate cancellation for the deleted tokens on the next working day.

• On acknowledgement from NPCI for cancellation, you will receive a 'Token Cancelled' webhook, which can be taken as a confirmation of mandate cancellation.

Joint accounts have multiple modes of operation. Suppose the customer trying to set up the mandate has access to operate the account without the joint account holder’s consent (mode of operation on account as either or survivor or anyone or survivor). In that case, they can register the mandates.

However, if both joint holders’ approval is required for operating the account, then such account holders cannot register with Emandates.

13. I have recently signed up with Razorpay, and my Razorpay account balance is ₹0. I cannot capture my payments, and they are stuck in the authorized state. What should I do?🔗

As there is no payment at the time of Emandate registrations, you need to have a sufficient balance in your Razorpay account to pay the transaction charges for registrations.

We recommend you top up your Razorpay account with a minimum amount to take care of registration charges until you start generating continuous cash flow via Razorpay.

If you do not set a limit for the mandate, the maximum limit defaults to ₹99,999 for Emandates.

The following table lists the auth types and their maximum limit allowed for Emandates.

Know more about setting the maximum limit for a mandate.

3. Is there a cooling period for customers registered via NPCI ENACH for initiating the first debit after completing the registration process?🔗

The registrations are instant with NPCI ENACH, and you can initiate debits immediately.

But there are instances where the issuing bank (customer’s bank) has not completed the registration at their end, and they can take up to 5 days to complete this process.

We have observed that most debits get cleared even when presented as soon as the registration is complete. But we recommend waiting for 5 days before you retry after a failed debit.

4. For Emandates, how long does it take a subsequent charge to move from the created state to the authorized state?🔗

In the case of Emandate, the process varies from bank to bank. If the Emandate is setup using Netbanking login, it can take up to 2 working days for payment authorization.

5. Will my debits get processed on holidays as well?🔗

Customer account debits for Emandates registered with NPCI ENACH will be done on all days, including weekends and public holidays.

However, settlements for the debit payments captured on weekends and public holidays will only be made on the next working day as per your settlement schedule.

6. I am getting an error saying Customer has to refer to branch to complete registration while initiating debits for my customers?🔗

This issue occurs when the bank has not completed the registration at their end. For such cases, you can retry debit after 5 working days. If this issue persists, inform your customers to contact their bank and get their mandate approved.

7. I am getting an error saying Payment failed because emandate is cancelled or inactive while presenting debits for my customers?🔗

This failure can occur for 2 reasons:

1. When the first debit is presented within a few days after registration. This means that the bank has not completed the mandate setup. You can retry after 5 days of the first failure in such cases.
2. When the debit is presented more than a month after registration, then it means that the customers have cancelled the mandate by approaching their bank. In such cases, you will need to ask customers to register a new mandate.

8. The payment status for debit presentment says authorized, and I have not received a settlement for this payment yet. Why?🔗

Payments have to be ‘Captured’ for the corresponding settlement to take place. You can manually capture the payment from the Dashboard.

Alternatively, to avoid manual dependency, you can enable Auto Capture for all your payments from the Dashboard.
