Paytm, the most popular digital wallet in India, has now integrated with the BHIM UPI platform. Users will be able to create their own Paytm BHIM UPI ID through the app and link their savings bank account to send and receive money. Most banks and BHIM UPI apps accept Paytm BHIM UPI ID for easy, fast and instant money transfer on 24/7 basis and on all 365 days in a year. There is no need to provide banks details such as account number or IFSC code to send or collect money through this app. Also, there is no waiting time for adding a payee/beneficiary.
All Paytm merchants will now be able to link their bank accounts and receive payments. Customers can send as much as Rs.1 lakh through the app and there is no upper limit on how much a user can receive. The Paytm BHIM app can be downloaded from Google Play Store on all Android phones. The facility is likely to be rolled out to iOS phones in the near future. UPI is likely to make transactions simple and hassle-free for both consumers and merchants.
Customers need not recharge their Paytm wallet henceforth because money will be directly debited from the savings bank account that is linked through UPI on the app in a safe and secure manner. Also, there are no transaction fees and money can be sent and received free of charge.
