What is Paytm Wallet
Paytm is a digital payment application approved by the Reserve Bank of India. It gives users access to a mobile wallet for secure and quick transactions. You can use this wallet to send money to merchants, pay bills, or transfer funds to friends and family. To add funds, you may transfer money to this wallet using a credit card, debit card, or bank account. Knowing how to add money from your credit card to your Paytm wallet could help you make payments quickly and conveniently. Additionally, it is useful to understand how to link a credit card with your Paytm wallet for faster transactions.
Linking a credit card with your Paytm wallet allows for quick and seamless payments. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to link a credit card with your Paytm wallet:
Open the Paytm app and tap on your profile picture at the top left corner of the home screen
Go to ‘UPI and Payment Settings’ from the menu
Select ‘Saved Cards’ and click on ‘Add New Card’
Accept a reimbursable debit of ₹1 from your credit card for verification
Enter your credit card details, save them, and complete the ₹1 payment
Once linked, you can easily use your credit card to add money to your Paytm wallet and make payments anytime.
Adding money from a credit card to a Paytm wallet is a simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add money from your credit card to your Paytm wallet.
Open the Paytm app or visit the Paytm website
Log in to your Paytm account
Go to your profile and select the wallet tab
Tap on the ‘Add’ option
Select ‘Credit Card’ as your payment option
Enter the amount you want to transfer and provide the necessary card details
Verify the information and click ‘Proceed’ to complete the transfer
Once you link a credit card with your Paytm wallet, you can use it to transfer funds directly whenever needed. Keep in mind that corporate credit cards may have certain usage restrictions. Understanding how to add money from your credit card to a Paytm wallet allows for quick and secure payments.
The amount you can add to your Paytm wallet depends on your KYC (Know Your Customer) status. With Minimum KYC, you can add up to ₹10,000 per month. To increase this limit, you need to complete full KYC, which allows you to maintain a balance of up to ₹1,00,000 at any time.
To complete minimum KYC, you must provide your name and an identity proof document, such as a Passport, Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or Voter ID. This process can be done online within minutes. However, minimum KYC is valid for only 24 months, after which you will need to complete full KYC to continue using the wallet without restrictions.
The full KYC process involves in-person verification. A Paytm executive will visit your address to verify your documents. While the document submission is quick, the home visit may take a few days to arrange and complete.
Understanding the fees associated with adding money from a credit card to your Paytm wallet is crucial. Here is a detailed overview of the applicable charges:
