‘s ban on Paytm Payments Bank services.
The restructuring efforts come in the wake of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) ban on Paytm Payments Bank Limited (PPBL), an associate of Paytm, from accepting deposits, credit transactions, or top-ups in any customer accounts, wallets, and FASTags, effective from March 15 onwards. This decision was made by the RBI to protect the interests of customers, including merchants.

As a result of the ban, Paytm reported a widening of its loss to Rs 550 crore in the January-March 2024 quarter, compared to a loss of Rs 167.5 crore in the same period a year ago.
The company stated that it will continue to prune its non-core business lines and maintain a leaner organization structure through AI-led interventions as part of its efforts to drive profitability, in line with its guidance for the fiscal year 2024.
