Earlier, Paytm used to offer next day settlement but now the merchants can enjoy immediate and on-demand settlement into their bank accounts. The merchants can also track all their payments and settlements on a real-time basis.

With the new payment settlement feature, Paytm is aiming to grow exponentially and provide a new solution to their merchant partners which is on par with cash. The company has already rolled out this functionality to over 1 million merchants across India and is currently in the process of extending it to all of its 9.8 million offline merchants.
