85% Paytm wallet users not to face disruption; rest asked to link wallet to other banks: RBI Guv

RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das has stated that around 80-85% of Paytm wallet users will not face any disruption due to recent regulatory actions. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had barred Paytm Payments Bank Ltd (PPBL) from certain activities and set a deadline of March 15 for users to link their wallets to other banks. The governor emphasized that the RBI supports innovation in the fintech sector and clarified that the regulatory action was directed at PPBL, not fintech companies in general. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is expected to make a decision on the Paytm payment app license soon. Das also expressed optimism about India's economic growth surpassing the projected figures.
