The central bank of India will determine whether to allow customer registrations and onboarding to proceed after studying a full report from the auditors. The statement runs as follows:

“This action is being taken as a result of various substantial supervisory issues that have been identified in the bank.”

Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the founder of Paytm Payments Bank, owns 51 percent of the company. The RBI has permitted the bank to function as a scheduled payments bank in December 2021, allowing it to provide a broad variety of services to its customers.
