“My camera department credit was approved on 21 June 2025 for ‘Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan’, but it’s still not visible on my IMDb name page. Could you please assist?”

Hi, Mohit: Your credit has indeed been approved and appears on the movie page if you go into edit mode (see https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/edit?update=tt28812582:camera_department.correct). However, in accordance with IMDb rules (see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/i-worked-on-a-title-but-did-not-receive-a-screen-credit-can-it-be-listed-on-imdb/G3BDEA5Y4U9LP9BW), "You need to have at least one pre-existing credited entry in the database. We will not display filmographies consisting exclusively of uncredited work." Therefore, your credit for Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan will not be displayed on your page nor on the film's page until you have another credited work listed. There is a bigger problem, though. Again, according to IMDb rules (see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/eligible-credits/GFXKZE9VXLB5CR8M), "there are certain types of credits that we do not list unless they are specifically credited on-screen: these include work on [...] supplemental materials [...]. We do not list these credits unless the person has received an on-screen credit for their work in the original version of the title." It seems that your name doesn't appear in the on-screen titles, and "behind the scenes" falls into the category of "supplementary material", hence your 'bts videographer' credit unfortunately shouldn't have been approved in the first place.
