ACCA FAQs - Payment and Fee-Related Queries

1. I have already paid the course fee. Do I need to pay for registration?

Yes. The IR fee is paid separately to ACCA for registration and is mandatory for students.

2. If my citizenship is different from India, is the IR fee the same?

No. The registration fee varies as per ACCA’s policy for non-Indian citizens and is different for different countries. Please connect with the CBE team to check your fees, if you are a Non-Indian citizen.

3. I have done the payment to Lakshya for IR. How can I confirm if the payment has been completed successfully?

Upon receiving your google form response for IR, our finance team will check and confirm this. In the event of an unsuccessful transaction, our team will connect you either by call or via email. For successful payments, there won’t be any specific communication.

4. When I tried to pay the IR fees, it showed “Receiver reached payment limit” or some technical issue occurred. The amount was refunded to my account. What should I do?

If you face this issue using Google Pay, try alternative methods like PhonePe or your bank’s payment app (e.g., SBI – YONO, SIB – SIB Mirror+, Federal Bank – FedMobile etc.).
You can also use bank-to-bank transfer or IMPS/NEFT.

If the issue persists, contact the CBE team for further support.

5. What is the payment reference number?

A payment reference number is a unique identifier assigned to a financial transaction to help track payments.

UPI Reference Number:
In UPI transactions, the reference number is a 12-digit code assigned to each transaction, also known as the UTR (Unique Transaction Reference) number.

Bank Transfer Reference:
When making a bank transfer, the reference number is often displayed on the bank statement or in the online banking portal.
