GMAT test centre exam auto cancelled

Question

I got a mail from Pearson, just a few hours back that my GMAT test center exam (India), scheduled for October 1, is cancelled.

"""
This e-mail contains important information about a cancelled exam appointment. Your appointment was either cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions or because you chose to cancel your exam appointment.

If your exam was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions such as density reduction requirements or a test center closure, your full exam fee will be refunded.

If you chose to cancel your exam appointment, cancellation fees may apply, and you may receive a partial refund.

If you paid for your appointment using a credit card, your refund will be processed within 3-5 days of receiving your appointment cancellation email. If you paid using a voucher, the value of the voucher will be restored.
"""

Generally, how long does it take for the exam fees to be refunded back?
Do I need to contact from my end for exam rescheduling? Any specific mail ID?
Is it advisable to book another slot right away, or wait for the exam fee charges reversal ?

My appointment of 6th Oct at this center was also canceled on 27th sep by them. It's annoying. 
Did you get your refund? How long did it take?
I've booked another date at the kalighat center too. 23rd oct.

I received the amount today morning in my credit card (GST + merchant fee deducted from bank side), so 2 days.
I think I need to contact the bank, how to transfer the amount from credit card to account
