Delhi High Court Orders Winding Up of Paytm Payments Bank After RBI Licence Cancellation
The Delhi High Court has ordered the winding up of Paytm Payments Bank Limited (PPBL) following the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) cancellation of its banking licence in April 2026 due to non-compliance and management concerns detrimental to depositors. Girikumar M Nair, former SBI Chief General Manager, was appointed as the official liquidator with powers to oversee the bank's dissolution and exercise board authority from July 8, 2026. The RBI confirmed PPBL has sufficient liquidity to repay depositors during the winding-up process. This action affects only PPBL and not other Paytm services.
