How to get your Paytm account KYC verified

By Ankit
Paytm is the most used digital wallet in India right now and is now quite ingrained into the ecosystem of digital payments. After demonetization, it has got a very big boost and now even our local Kirana stores to office canteens accept payments through Paytm. However, recent RBI guidelines plan to bring a spanner into this seamless way of paying one another. All online wallets are now mandated to get the KYC of their users failing which the users won't be able to do wallet to wallet transactions nor will they be able to upload more than Rs.10,000 in their wallets within a specific month. Paytm has welcomed this guideline unlike many other smaller wallet operators and for the same has contract employed a large workforce to get the KYC done.



What do I need for Paytm KYC

  1. Aadhar card number
  2. PAN card

Steps to get Paytm KYC done


  1. Open your Paytm Android or iOS app.
  2. In the top menu, you should be able to see a KYC button just between the Passbook and Add Money buttons.
  3. Once you click on the KYC button you should now be prompted for your Aadhar card number. Enter your Aadhar card number and check the Terms and Conditions before selecting the checkbox.


  • After clicking the Proceed button you will be asked a few more personal details like Nominee name, your occupation, Marital status and your address. Enter these details.
  • You should expect a call from Paytm representative for scheduling an appointment where your Aadhar based biometric verification will be done.

    • That's all!

    As soon as your biometric verification is done your Paytm account will be KYC compliant and you will have your own Paytm bank account along with your wallet limit renewed to Rs.1,00,000. You also won't have any issues in a wallet to wallet transaction. For any questions or queries please use the comment section below.

    How to change your default browser in Windows 10

    By Ankit
    At the time of writing this post, Windows 10 is still in beta but by the time you are reading this, probably it would have been already released. Changing your default browser is a little different to how it was before but it is not much difficult though it does require a few extra steps. Earlier, you could have just gone to the Options menu in your new browser and there could have selected "Make Default" to make the browser default but in Windows 10 this doesn't work and your default browser will still be Microsoft Edge.

    How to get complete KYC done for Mobikwik through Android app or website

    By Ankit
    Recent RBI guidelines for mobile wallets bring along with them a lot of restrictions on its usage. Probably the biggest pain is not allowing wallet to wallet transfer which many of us do for small amounts. Then sometimes you also might have reasons to load large amounts in your wallet which right now is not possible with non-KYC compliant due to RBI limiting it to Rs.10,000 only. So all in all, to get past these restrictions it is a good idea to get your KYC verification done once so you can use your Mobikwik wallet as you wish to.
