# Payout Amendment

> Request a minor correction to the details of a payout that has already been initiated.

## What is a Payout Amendment?

A payout amendment allows a merchant to request a correction to the details of a payout that has already been initiated. Amendments are limited to minor typographical fixes and do not permit changes to the intended beneficiary or bank account.

***

## What Can Be Amended?

Only the following minor corrections are eligible for an amendment request.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A. Minor Account Number Correction" defaultOpen>
    * A small number of digits are missing or incorrectly entered, consistent with a typographical error.
    * The error is clearly a typographical mistake.
    * The intended beneficiary remains unchanged.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="B. Minor Beneficiary Name Correction" defaultOpen>
    * Spelling mistakes (e.g. "Jon Smith" → "John Smith")
    * Missing middle name
    * Minor formatting differences (e.g. "ABC Pvt Ltd" → "ABC Private Limited")
    * Small typographical corrections
