Paytm Payments Services gets RBI nod
In a filing on Tuesday, One97 Communications mentioned that the RBI gave its nod to Paytm Payments Services to operate as an online payment aggregator.
The RBI’s green signal also helps Paytm Payments Services Limited from getting free from the restrictions of onboarding new merchants which was imposed on the company on November 25, 2022.
"Paytm Payments Services Limited (PPSL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of One97 Communications Limited (OCL or the Company), for a Payment Aggregator (PA) licence. We would like to inform you that Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has granted 'in-principle' authorisation to PPSL vide its letter...dated August 12, 2025, to operate as an Online Payment Aggregator under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007," the filing said.
The company had moved the authority for the permit in March 2020 but some issues related to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) hindered the approval.
In its April-June quarter FY26 results, Paytm posted a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 123 crore. The fintech’s revenue surged 28% YoY to Rs 1,918 crore, due to increase in number of subscription merchants, higher GMV and growth in revenues from distribution of financial services.
