“India will keep winning global accolades in payment innovation and inclusion in financial services – with PaytmKaro as the biggest champion of it,” he added.

Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s statement comes at a time when Paytm is trying to clear the doubts of users after the central bank barred key services of Paytm Payments Bank on February 29.

There have been rumors on social media that the Paytm app will face significant disruption as a result of RBI’s actions. However, Paytm has come out with a detailed FAQ to clarify that the app will continue to work. While some services could face temporary disruption, Paytm has clarified that it is working with external banking partners to continue operating seamlessly.
