If you're getting an "incorrect application number" error on the SBI Cards website, there's a workaround using your browser's developer tools.
After entering your application number and OTP, and receiving the error message, follow these steps:
- Right-click anywhere on the webpage and select "Inspect" from the menu. This will open the developer tools panel.
- In the developer tools panel, click on the "Console" tab at the top.
- Look through the console logs. You should find a message that begins with
stepsInfo
. Your application status will be displayed within this message, for example, stepsInfo Application Verification in Process
.
This method works on most computer browsers, though the exact name of the developer console may vary. This process allows you to bypass the display error and view the correct status directly from the site's data.
I have attached a screen recording showing the steps.
