WhatsApp template: your application status
When the lender or insurer moves the file — sanctioned, needs more, issued.
A utility template, sent when the lender or insurer moves the file — sanctioned, needs more, issued. Usually sent outside the 24-hour window, so it is charged: ₹0.115 per message in India, before GST.

When to send it, and what gets it rejected
A status message about an application the customer made is utility. Keep the lender's words for the lender's decision — 'sanctioned', 'approved in principle' — and do not editorialise about the rate. A rejection goes through a person, not a template.
Submitting it to Meta
Create it in WhatsApp Manager (or through your tool) with the category Utility, paste the body with the {{n}} variables, and give each variable a sample value from the example above — Meta’s review reads the samples. Approval usually takes minutes to a few hours. If it comes back re-categorised as marketing, a line in the body reads as promotional; remove it rather than argue.
What it costs to send
In India, Meta charges ₹0.115 per delivered message for a utility template, plus 18% GST, when it is sent outside the customer’s 24-hour window. Inside the window it has been charged at the same rate since 1 October 2026. The pricing guide has the full rate card; Linkubit adds nothing to it.
Send it without typing it

Questions about this template
Is "Application status" a utility or a marketing template?
Utility. It is about the customer's own transaction, so it needs no separate opt-in, and it is charged at the utility rate inside and outside the 24-hour window since 1 October 2026.
What does it cost to send "Application status" in India?
₹0.115 per delivered message before 18% GST, on Meta's published rate as read on 18 September 2026. It is usually sent outside the window, so it is charged from the first message. Meta bills your own account; nothing is added.
Can I change the wording of "Application status"?
Yes. Keep the variables in order and none at the start or end of the body, keep the category honest — no offer, discount or "limited time" line in a utility message — and resubmit; the previous version keeps working until the new one is approved. The template checker tests a draft before you submit it.
