Interviewed for level 9 and after 2 interviews this happened

:help: | Advice Needed

I applied for custom software engineer - Pyspark level 9 recently and cleared all the rounds and bgv process as well. HR called and congratulated me that I will now receive an offer. She asked me for expected CTC. I said according to standard market I am expecting 30% hike. She then said your feedback came and was suggested for level 10 and for that we don't have budget as per your expectations. I said ok then what will be the ctc, she said it cannot be disclosed you can see it in the evening in the workday portal. The ctc was 5 lakhs less than my current CTC (fixed). They didn't pick up call the other day. On Monday I said its not feasible for me to accept an offer less than my current CTC and also location is banglore. Location can be changed but not hearing anything from the teams so I can't promise the location change. But I have already raised it. Now I have told them that if the interview was for level 9 consider for the same and give ctc accordingly, I am also ready to give final interview for level 9 if required.

What should I do now? I have given a counter offer as well for level 9 responsibilities from another company. Will they reconsider?
