The online registration process of the CAT exam is simple but consumes a lot of time. Thus, you should prioritise staying updated about the entire registration procedure, the CAT Exam Fees, etc. So far, we have given you an update about the registration fees for all the categories, i.e., General\/EWS\/NC-OBC\/SC\/ST\/PwD, modes of payment and payment procedure. If by chance, you face a payment error, then here is the complete list of solutions for your understanding and reference.\u00a0Candidates can follow the respective steps mentioned below in case they face issues during the CAT 2026 registration form filling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Try again after 30 minutes:<\/strong> If no money is deducted, i.e., it is for at least 30 minutes before the next attempt. Carefully enter the card details and follow the on-screen instructions to make the payment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Re-check your internet connection:<\/strong> Cross-check if there\u2019s any kind of network issue. Staying connected to a poor network will disrupt your CAT exam fee payment procedure. During such errors, you can also try with other modes of payment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reach Out to Bank\/CAT Helpdesk: <\/strong>If the transaction is complete and you still haven\u2019t received any confirmation, then connect with the bank authorities. Also, address this issue to the CAT Helpdesk.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Collect Necessary Evidence:<\/strong> Take a screenshot if the payment was complete, but there was no confirmation message on the screen. This will act as a valid proof of support. Send an email to the CAT Helpdesk and the respective bank with supporting evidence.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Try Multiple Times: <\/strong>Trying to pay the fees multiple times despite initial failures can lead to double deductions. If you ever come across such instances, then you must wait for some time and try again.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opt for a Different Payment Method: <\/strong>Prefer switching to a different payment method if there\u2019s a constant error with the existing payment mode. The second time, enter the payment details carefully, cross-verify and then try to pay the fees for the CAT exam online.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-cat-2026-registration-last-date\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_CAT_2026_Registration_Last_Date\"><\/span><strong>New CAT 2026 Registration Last Date <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new CAT 2026 registration last date is <strong>22 September 2026 at 5:00 PM<\/strong>.
