PLI Update_24032026 ImportantPlease note! Due to an issue with McCamish, it has been observed that many transactions were committed in McCamish, but no response was received at the APT end, resulting in them not being updated in the APT database, wallet, or reports. Therefore, all such transactions are being taken up for centralized cancellation and will be processed by EOD.
All concerned are advised not to account for transactions that are not reflected in APT. They should check the McCamish reports tomorrow, and any missed transactions may be performed tomorrow and accounted for accordingly.
Any duplicate transactions in APT should be cancelled at the APT level and reconciled with the McCamish reports.
With regards
PLI CEPT Team
