* NPCI sends the Transaction Status Request to BOU.
* BOU forwards the Transaction Status Request to Biller.
* Biller sends the Transaction Status Request Acknowledgement to BOU, immediately upon receiving the request.
* After Biller processes the request, the resulting Transaction Status Request is sent to BOU.
* Once BOU receives the Transaction Status Response, a Transaction Status Response Acknowledgement is sent to Biller.
* BOU forwards the Transaction Status Response to NPCI.
* On receiving the Transaction Status Response, NPCI sends Transaction Status Response to BOU.
* Once BOU receives the Transaction Status Response from NPCI, they send the corresponding notification to Biller.
