Paytm Postpaid launched: Spend up to Rs 60,000, pay next month

Mobile wallet platform Paytm has launched its Paytm Postpaid service for select users where they can spend now and pay back the amount later, similar to credit cards. The service allows users to recharge their mobile numbers or DTH connections, book movie tickets and shop on Paytm online marketplace without entering bank or card details and even wallet top-ups.

The Paytm Postpaid service has been rolled out for the masses and can be accessed via the Paytm app by any user.

The Paytm Postpaid service offers users a credit limit of up to Rs 60,000. The consolidated bill of payments made under Paytm Postpaid will be sent to users on the first of every month, followed by payment reminders between first and seventh day of every month. The amount spent will have to be paid back by the seventh day without any extra costs or interest. The postpaid account will be deactivated in case of payment default.
