You can pay merchants either by scanning a QR code or by entering the recipient’s mobile number.

Putting money in and moving it out

Adding funds to your Paytm digital wallet and transferring them is straightforward:

To top up: open the app, select Add Money from the main screen, enter the amount and choose a payment method. To send wallet funds to your bank account: tap Passbook, choose Send Money to Bank, then provide the transfer amount, account holder name, account number and IFSC code and confirm the transfer. The entire flow is completed within the app.

Why users prefer it

Paytm’s popularity in India is well established — it has attracted millions of users thanks to its broad feature set, reliable performance and ease of use. It handles both online and offline transactions smoothly, and its interface is designed to be accessible for new users, which helps people go cashless with minimal friction.

Alternatives to consider

If you prefer a different app focused solely on UPI payments and free recharges, look into dedicated UPI-based wallets and banking apps that emphasize zero-cost transfers and simple recharge flows.
