What Were RBI's Restrictions On Paytm? RBI imposed restrictions on Paytm Payments Bank in January 2024. This led to a major decline in Paytm's revenue. To overcome this setback, Paytm focused on cutting expenses, selling non-core assets like Paytm Insider and restructuring the merchant lending business. RBI's decision will provide great relief to Paytm. After almost three years of regulatory uncertainty, Paytm will be able to resume merchant onboarding and move forward towards expanding its digital payment infrastructure.
