Paytm

Paytm obtained a third-party application provider licence from the National Payments Corporation of India on Thursday, the eve of the deadline of March 15th for Paytm Payments Bank to shut down. Thanks to this licence, Paytm’s users will have an additional payment option through its app after its banking division, Paytm Payments Bank, was shut down for breaking regulations. In similar news, there have been rumours that Paytm may cut its team sizes by 20%. But according to the business, this is just a “routine” employee evaluation.
