acknowledged that \u201ccertain technical issues\u201d on May 21 and May 22 had resulted in incorrect fee deductions during applications for scanned answer books.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>According to the board, some candidates were charged excess amounts, while in other cases lesser amounts were deducted during the payment process.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"

payment,\u201d the board said in the notice issued by Controller of Examinations Dr Sanyam Bhardwaj.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>CBSE further clarified that students affected by payment discrepancies would still receive scanned copies of their evaluated answer books without having to submit fresh applications.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>\u201cIn cases where lesser payment was deducted, candidates shall be informed separately regarding payment of the balance amount, if required,\u201d the board added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"

access downloaded answer books after successful transactions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The latest complaints come days after CBSE admitted that its online answer sheet portal had suffered technical disruptions due to unusually high traffic during the application process.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Earlier, the board had stated that more than 98.6 lakh answer sheets were evaluated this year under the On-Screen Marking system and acknowledged receiving feedback regarding blurred pages, missing responses and evaluation-related concerns after
