Paytm gets RBI approval for offline and cross border payment aggregation
Medial

Paytm Payments Services Limited (PPSL), a wholly owned subsidiary of One 97 Communications Limited, has received authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India to operate as a payment aggregator for physical or offline payments and cross border transactions, according to a regulatory filing. The approval allows PPSL to undertake cross border payment aggregation for both inward and outward transactions. This is in addition to the online payment aggregator authorisation granted by the RBI last month. With this authorisation, PPSL now holds payment aggregator approvals across online, offline, and cross border segments. The company said the approval enables it to offer payment aggregation services across multiple use cases for merchants. Paytm had earlier applied for a payment aggregator licence, which was returned by the RBI in November 2022. The company reapplied in September 2024 and received in principle approval from the regulator in August 2025, following which the final authorisation has now been issued. Paytm becomes part of a limited set of regulated players that are authorised to support domestic and cross border payments across both online and offline merchant channels on a single compliant platform. Other companies in this group include Razorpay, Easebuzz, PayU, Pine Labs, and Airpay. The company reported revenue from operations of Rs 2,061 crore in Q2 FY26, up from Rs 1,659 crore in the year ago period. However, its net profit fell sharply to Rs 21 crore from Rs 930 crore in Q2 FY25, primarily due to the absence of a one time gain in the base quarter and an impairment loss recorded in the latest quarter.

Snippets EximPe secures RBI PA-CB in-principle licence EximPe, a cross-border payment startup, has secured the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Payment Aggregator Cross-Border (PA-CB) In-Principle licence (export and import). According to EximPe, this makes the company one of the first to receive this new regulatory authorization without any existing payments licences. With this licence, it plans to enable compliant cross-border pay-ins and pay-outs for digital services, e-commerce, and B2B goods trade, serving businesses across Asian emerging markets. The PA-CB licence will significantly enhance the company’s ability to facilitate seamless cross-border payments and simplify compliance for businesses engaged in international trade. The licence will enable the startup to transition from a technology platform enabling cross border payments to being able to provide a fully regulated cross border infra play. Founded in 2021 by Arjun Zacharia, EximPe is an all-in-one platform that provides real time rate booking, compliance, and trade documentation for businesses. The company serves a range of businesses who trade or sell services globally. The Mumbai-based company had previously raised $3.5 million in Series A round from Leo Capital and others. “With this licence, EximPe is uniquely positioned to support businesses in expanding in the highest growth global corridor between India-Asia, while simplifying complex regulatory and financial requirements. With the PA-CB licence, we want to expand our business by 10X by the end of FY 2026,” said Arjun Zacharia, CEO and founder of EximPe. The platform claims to have already processed over $450 million in transactions and serves more than 5,000 SMEs, manufacturers, and service providers. It aims to further strengthen its position as a leading cross-border payment infrastructure provider by expanding its capabilities with this new licence.
