Paytm News, Updates & Promos

I read the article again and it says Paytm Payments Bank launched UPI lite.

I forgot UPI lite feature is only available for selective bank.

edit- this article shows steps to enable upi lite but without any screenshots. Won't be surprised if they just wrote expected steps to enable the feature.

How Paytm only has like 14 percent and phonepe almost 50 percent. In every small n big stores i find Paytm pos and qr code sound machine. Phone pe sound boxes are now more common but still much less than Paytm.

Lol kaun hai ye log jo phonepe use kr rhe itna.

Went to a momos outlet yesterday. Tried paying using cash. Dude had no change of course. Ended up paying using Paytm. And today, got a promotional message from the outlet on WhatsApp. It’s crazy if Paytm leaked my number to the store. I have never thought of this before. But it somehow happened in my case.
