Paytm Receives RBI In-Principle Approval to Restart Digital Wallet Business
Paytm has received in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to restart its digital wallet business through its subsidiary, Paytm Payments Services Ltd. This approval allows the company to set up and operate prepaid payment instruments, including digital wallets, subject to final authorisation. Paytm must complete a system and cybersecurity audit within six months and obtain the RBI's final approval before resuming wallet services. The development follows the RBI's earlier cancellation of Paytm Payments Bank's licence and has driven Paytm's shares to a record high.
