RBI Removes Paytm Payments Bank from Scheduled Banks List After Licence Cancellation
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has officially removed Paytm Payments Bank (PPBL) from its list of recognised scheduled banks following the cancellation of its banking licence in April 2023. The RBI cited non-compliance with regulations and conduct detrimental to depositors' interests. The Delhi High Court later ordered the winding up of PPBL. Prior restrictions included halting new customer onboarding from March 2022 and imposing business limitations in early 2024. The removal was notified in July and published in the Gazette of India in September.
