Wait for the payment gateway to return to the application portal and confirm that the transaction is successful.
If the payment status is unclear, verify the application/payment status before attempting another transaction.
Step 16: Complete Final Submission
Submit the application only after checking all information.
A successful payment alone should not be assumed to mean that every stage of the form has been completed.
