Paytm Payments Bank Winding Up After RBI Licence Revocation

Paytm Payments Bank (PPBL) will be wound up following the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) cancellation of its banking licence in April 2026 due to regulatory non-compliance. The RBI's actions were confirmed by a Delhi High Court order on July 8, 2026, which appointed Girikumar Nair as the official liquidator. The RBI cited detrimental management of the bank's affairs and previously placed restrictions on customer activities in response to ongoing supervisory concerns. This situation could impact stakeholders and investors involved with Paytm's broader financial ecosystem.
