Frequently Asked Questions
Common developer queries about the Cancel Mandate API and cancellation workflows.
What is the Cancel Mandate API?
The Cancel Mandate API is a specialized endpoint that allows you to formally terminate a recurring payment instruction. It sends a revocation request to the NPCI and the customer's bank to ensure no further debits can be processed.
2. When should I call the Cancel API?
You should call this API whenever a customer unsubscribes from your service, if a loan has been fully repaid, or if you need to invalidate a mandate due to internal policy changes or user requests.
3. Can I cancel a mandate using the UMRN?
Yes. The Cancel API supports cancellation using either your internal Mandate ID or the bank-generated Unique Mandate Reference Number (UMRN), providing flexibility for your integration.
4. Is the cancellation permanent?
Yes, once a mandate is successfully Canceld/cancelled at the bank level, it cannot be reactivated. To resume collections for that customer, a new mandate registration process must be initiated.
5. What happens if I Cancel a 'Pending' mandate?
The API will attempt to intercept the registration process. If the mandate hasn't been finalized by the bank, the request will be marked as cancelled, preventing it from ever becoming active.
6. Is there a charge for calling the Cancel API?
Pricing depends on your specific service agreement. Generally, API calls are metered based on your subscription tier. Contact your account manager for detailed pricing on mandate lifecycle operations.
7. How long does the cancellation take to reflect?
While the API request is processed instantly, the bank and NPCI synchronization typically takes between a few minutes and T+1 business day to reflect as fully cancelled across all systems.
8. Does the API provide a reason for deletion in the audit log?
Yes. You can pass a reason parameter in the request payload. This is stored in the mandate history, making it easier to track whether the deletion was initiated by the user or the merchant.
9. Will I receive a webhook after a mandate is Canceld?
Absolutely. Once the destination bank confirms the revocation, we trigger a webhook notification to your configured endpoint with the updated status of CANCELLED.
10. Can a Canceld mandate still be charged?
No. Our system blocks any debit requests for mandates in a CANCELLED state. Additionally, the bank will reject any collection attempts using a revoked UMRN, protecting you from dispute liabilities.
