Fintech platform Paytm has said that it will be providing Rs 100 cash back for all UPI payments that are made through the app.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the firm said, "Paytm is India’s favorite payment app! Now, with the power of four banks, Get assured Rs 100 cashback on UPI payments using the Paytm app." Recently, the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) allowed One97 Communications (parent of Paytm) to migrate its users to the new payment service provider's bank handles. The NPCI recently allowed Paytm to act as a third-party application provider.
The four banks that will act as payment service providers include the State Bank of India, Axis Bank, HDFC, and Yes Bank. As per a release by Paytm, "All four banks are now operational on the TPAP, streamlining the process for Paytm to shift user accounts to these PSP banks."
On April 22, Paytm's Vijay Shekhar Sharma said that the migration of merchant customer accounts to UPI handles from Paytm has been completed. Sharma said, "After we received the approval from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the migration of customer accounts is complete."
