Why was my payment declined?
Common Payment Failure Reasons
A payment through Razorpay might be declined due to but not limited to:
Incorrect card/UPI credentials
Card expiry
Daily transaction limits
Network connectivity issues at the time of payment
Server Issues or other technical issues
What to Do If It Happens
If the payment was deducted but the order wasn’t confirmed, Razorpay typically initiates an automatic refund to your account within 5–7 working days.

📌 Go Science does not process or handle payment gateway issues directly. You can check the status directly with Razorpay or your bank.
