The approval is expected before the Reserve Bank of India's restrictions on Paytm Payments Bank take effect on the same date. Paytm applied for the TPAP license in partnership with Axis Bank and Yes Bank. Shares of Paytm have dropped over 50% following the RBI's action on Paytm Payments Bank.

Paytm parent company One97 Communications has been granted approval by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to operate as a third-party application provider on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) infrastructure. This allows Paytm to offer UPI services to its users through a multi-bank model, moving away from its exclusive partnership with Paytm Payments Bank. Four major banks, including Axis Bank and HDFC Bank, will act as payment system providers to Paytm. This move comes as Paytm Payments Bank was barred from accepting new deposits and providing banking services from March 2024.
