Editorial assessment
Paytm is a digital lending app (LSP); the site does not clearly name the regulated lending entity behind its loans, so we mark this relationship unclear. Its official site publishes most of the core loan terms — compare the figures below against other lenders before applying. No individually named grievance contact was found on its official site at last check.
Contact & registered office
