🔧 Troubleshooting — Why Your Coupon Isn’t Showing
❌ “No Records Found” in app
Normal if payment was recent. IRD verification takes 2–3 days. Check again after 3 days. If still empty after 7 days — merchant may not be PAN registered.
❌ Payment made but no coupon
The merchant may not be PAN/VAT registered. Utility bill payments (electricity, internet, phone) don’t generate coupons. Purchases below रू 100 excluded.
⚠️ Menu item not visible in app
Search “tax,” “prize,” or “IRD” within the app. If still not found — log in to prize.ird.gov.np directly with your PAN to see all entries.
⚠️ Different account used for payment
Coupons are tied to the PAN linked to your wallet/bank account. If you have multiple accounts, check all of them. PAN must be registered for coupons to generate.
