Regulatory action against Paytm Payments Bank was prompted by “serious supervisory concerns,” as per sources who informed Reuters. These concerns included insufficient customer identity verification measures and a perceived lack of independence from Paytm.

The Reserve Bank of India has directed the banking unit to cease its operations by March 15 due to ongoing non-compliance issues and significant supervisory concerns. This decision has led to a sharp decline in Paytm’s stock value.

Paytm revealed in a filing that Srinivasan Sridhar, ex-chairman of Central Bank of India, and Ashok Kumar Garg, former Executive Director of Bank of Baroda, alongside two retired Indian Administrative Service officers, are set to join its board.
