    Paytm Payments Bank back in business after RBI nod
  • After six months of inactivity, Paytm Payments Bank (PPB) has started adding new customers following a clearance by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

    Earlier, RBI had barred PPB from enrolling new customers after it found PPB to be violating know-your-customer (KYC) norms.

    The RBI had also found PPB's governance structure to be undesirable.

    Here's more.

    Why the RBI had halted PPB's business
  • PPB had stopped enrolling customers from June 20 in accordance with restrictions imposed by the RBI.

    The restrictions came on the back of an RBI audit of PPB which found that the payments bank was violating certain KYC norms and end-of-the-day limits on deposits.

    The RBI had also expressed displeasure at Vijay Shekhar Sharma's closeness to PPB's governance.

    The ad, which described PPB as "India's most sincere bank" urged people to open savings accounts with PPB.

    Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma also tweeted about PPB's return to business.
