Paytm's associate Bank recently received the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) directions in response to which Paytm's Founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma assured users that Paytm app will continue to work beyond 29th Feb. In a tweet, Vijay Shekhar Sharma said, "To every Paytmer, Your favourite app is working, will keep working beyond 29 February as usual. I, with every Paytm team member, salute you for your relentless support".
In his tweet, he also added, "For every challenge, there is a solution and we are sincerely committed to serve our nation in full compliance. India will keep winning global accolades in payment innovation and inclusion in financial services - with PaytmKaro as the biggest champion of it."
Most of the services offered by Paytm are in partnership with various banks (not just associate Bank). Paytm’s offline merchant payment network offerings like Paytm QR, Paytm Soundbox, Paytm Card Machine, will continue as usual, where it can onboard new offline merchants as well. Mobile recharges, subscriptions and other recurring payments on the Paytm app will continue to operate smoothly.
