  4. Payment transaction can have the following sanction check status based on the response from Sanction check system:
    • P-Pending
    • A-Approved
    • R-Rejected
    • O-Interim (Any of the interim status from the external system will be treated as an override)
    • T-Timed Out
    • Z-Seized
  5. All payment transactions with the status ‘R’,’O’,’T’ are listed in Sanction check queue. If the response is received as rejected-’R’, then system cancels the transaction automatically if the external system status code is marked for auto cancellation. If auto cancellation is not opted, transaction is retained in this queue, with response status as Rejected, enabling user to manually cancel the payment.

    Note:

    If an outbound payment transaction stays in Sanction Queue overnight, as part of the EOD job, a ring fence block is executed, to hold the funds till Sanction response is received. An ECA amount block request is triggered to DDA system, while the payment still remains in Sanction Q. Force block flag is set on, on this request. When Sanction system responds, following action is taken, based on response:
    • Approve or Reject: The Ring fence block is released and transaction is processed further.
    • Seize & Seizure accounting: The Ring fence block is released and transaction is marked as Seized, after posting seizure accounting.
    • Interim Response: Ring fence is not released & waits for final response.
