PolicyBazaar’s PB Pay receives RBI approval for Payment Aggregation

PolicyBazaar’s PB Pay receives RBI approval for Payment Aggregation PB Pay Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of InsurTech firm PB Fintech, has received in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007. The approval comes nearly a year after the company submitted its application. The authorisation is subject to compliance with the RBI’s guidelines on the regulation of payment aggregators and payment gateways. Policybazaar focuses on insurance, while Paisabazaar, also under PB Fintech, handles the credit side — personal loans, business loans, credit cards, and credit scores. This move will help the company’s business to support and streamline payment across both insurance and credit verticals and reduce reliance on third-party service providers. Last month, PB Fintech also got the board approval to infuse Rs 696 crore or $80 million to its subsidiary PB Healthcare Services Pvt Ltd to strengthen its new unit’s operations in India’s health care sector. The parent company of Policybazaar and Paisabazaar reported a 48.3% year-on-year revenue growth to Rs 1,292 crore in the third quarter of the last fiscal year (Q3 FY25) from Rs 871 crore in Q3 FY24. During the same period, its net profit nearly doubled to Rs 72 crore from Rs 37 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal. PB Fintech is currently trading at Rs 1,625 with a total market capitalization of Rs 74,629 crore (approximately $8.6 billion).

PB Healthcare Services, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of PB Fintech Limited, is raising Rs 1,461 crore (approximately $171 million) as part of the first tranche of its seed round. Of the total amount, Rs 539.4 crore has already been infused by PB Fintech Limited, while the remaining capital will be contributed by external investors, according to disclosures filed with the National Stock Exchange (NSE). For context, PB Fintech had earlier passed a resolution to invest up to Rs 696 crore through the purchase of equity shares or preference shares of PB Healthcare Services Private Limited in FY26. As part of the current round, it has already invested Rs 539.4 crore, with the remaining amount yet to be deployed. As per the filings, PB Fintech’s stake in PB Healthcare Services has dropped from 100% to 32.14% following the participation of external investors in the seed round. Previously a wholly-owned subsidiary, PB Healthcare has also created an ESOP pool to attract and retain key talent. The capital infusion is aimed at strengthening the company’s financial position and supporting its growth plans. “The dilution in shareholding is a strategic decision to bring in external investors and create an ESOP pool to attract and retain talent,” the company noted in its filing. Founded in January 2025, PB Healthcare Services set out with an ambitious goal of establishing hospitals with a cumulative capacity of 1,000 beds within its first year. The company plans to launch operations in the National Capital Region (NCR), with a phased expansion into other major metro cities.
