Approval for the unit, Paytm Payment Services, has been delayed for months because of the company's connection to China, but once approved, it will allow the unit to go back to normal business operations without any obstacles.

Last month, Reuters stated that the investment had been approved by the government. Vivek Joshi, secretary of financial services, stated that the company may request a payment aggregator license from India's central bank, which will be assessed by the bank.
