DD sent, but status still incomplete

[sehrasahu]

Sir/Madam,
I sent the DD on 23rd feb 2012 but still the status in my page shows that the form is still not accepted only because the DD is not rreceived. Rest all is complete. Already i sent it before on 20th jan 2012 on the same address but it said that the a/c no. is changed so i had to send it again. So, suggest me what to do to confirm that my DD is already received by them. My application no. is #11096. The person handling the duty of answering the mails has not answered a single mail out of the several mails sent by me. Kindly reply. I'd be very grateful to you. Thank you.

Check List
** Does the address for correspondence include pin code and is it legible?
** Is a passport size photograph pasted at the correct place?
** Have you signed in the place marked for the signature?
** Is correct email and postal addresses written in proper place?
** Is the name of the bank and draft number written on application form?
** Is your name and application number written on the backside of the draft?
** Have the two centers of your choice been selected and marked correctly in the form?
If any of the above is missing, the application will be considered incomplete and
will not be processed.

[sehrasahu]

yes sir, everything is complete. But i do not know why the status is still incomplete. Please suggest something. Do i need to send the DD again? The last date that they can receive DD is 13th March 2012.

I dont think you have to send DD.

I have much less info on the application process than you as you have a first hand experience of applying. I cant think of anything else.

Did you try to call them up?

[sehrasahu]

ok sir, thank you for responding. i think i'm going to loose this chance this year. i don't understand what is wrong as the delivery of DD was done on 24th itself(said by the speed post manager). there's no contact number either and nobody is responding to the mails too. i'll ry to send one more DD instead of struggling much.
