How to verify it yourself

Make course decisions yourself and not on a phone call. Check what you bought, the fee schedule and any EMI mandate in the app and in the written agreement and payment emails, and ask your bank or loan lender about the mandate using the number printed on its statement. Refunds from a cancelled course return to the original payment method, and no one needs your OTP to pay you. Check the company's official website, typed by hand, for its refund policy.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.
