The Get Mandate Status API enables you to understand the current state of the mandate at any time. After integrating this API, it helps you identify the customers who paused the mandate outside your eco-system by directly connecting with the issuer (This case is only applicable for UPI). In such cases, you can call Get Mandate Status API before initiating the charge API.

HTTP Method: POST
