Paytm, based in Noida, reported a profit after tax of Rs 559 crore for FY26, with services including Paytm UPI and Paytm Gold operating uninterrupted and independently from Paytm Payments Bank Limited (PPBL).
The company clarified it has no board or management involvement with PPBL, no material business arrangements, and had already impaired its PPBL investment as of March 31, 2024, ensuring no direct financial impact.
