Article Withdrawal Processing Charge (AWPC)

Authors can use several methods to process the Article Withdrawal Processing Charge (AWPC), and can switch options if one fails. An authorised representative or third party can also manage the AWPC on the author’s behalf, regardless of location.

1. PhonePe through QR Code:  Authors can use the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to pay their Article Withdrawal Processing Charge (AWPC) through digital wallets like PhonePe, Paytm, or Google Pay. This service, available via QR code scanning, is only supported in certain countries.
2. NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI, and Cash Deposit in the account: Authors can pay their Article Withdrawal Processing Charge (AWPC) via NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, or cash deposit in the bank account, depending on their country.
3. PayPal: Authors have the option to pay their Article Withdrawal Processing Charge (AWPC) through PayPal using either a credit or debit card. Furthermore, they should verify with their banks to avoid any potential payment failures.
4. SWIFT Transfer/Wire Transfer: Authors can process the Article Withdrawal Processing Charge (AWPC) in the suggested bank account through SWIFT transfer (Wire Transfer) by contacting their bank. They’ll need to provide an acceptance letter, photo ID, and the publisher’s bank account details, found at the bottom of this page.
5. Western Union in the account: Authors can use Western Union for the Article Withdrawal Processing Charge (AWPC), but AWPC must be directed to the publisher bank account and not processed as cash.
