How Much Paytm Charge For Fund Transfer and Payments?

By Chandrakant Mishra | Published On July 1, 2019

The Paytm users are concerned about the charges of making payment through it. The concern is genuine as in the whole process of the payment, the money goes from your bank account to another bank account. The Paytm Does not get any fees from this transaction. Thus, when Economic Times reported that Paytm is going to charge for every transaction through it, there was a huge uproar.

Today most of the people are using cashless payment because it is convenient and they don’t need to pay extra for that. If there would be a fee, most of the people might go back to cash payments. So, Is it true that Paytm is going to charge for Card payment and UPI payments? The Paytm has clarified about this in a blog post. But before that let us learn what is reported in the Economic Times.

The ET Reported From Sources

  1. The Paytm Would Charge for Transactions From July 1, 2019.
  2. The Charge would be 1% for credit cards, 0.9% for debit cards and ₹12-15 for netbanking and UPI transactions.
  3. The new Fees would be applicable for Topping up the wallet, Utility bills, School Fees and Buying Cinema Tickets.
