We have also brought cool features like split bills, Paytm tags, and alternate UPI IDs on the Paytm app,” Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Chairman, Paytm Payments Bank, and CEO of Paytm, said.

Our latest product, Paytm UPI Lite, is one of the biggest innovations that will propel UPI to the next level. Almost 60 lakh users today enjoy superfast payments with Paytm UPI Lite.”

A total of 13 banks have gone live on UPI Lite to date. RuPay credit card on UPI is the most disruptive move in payments after Wallet and UPI payments.
