Over the last few months we have seen encouraging adoption across India and are striving to offer them newer features. We were quick to identify the issue and fix the same within 24 hours. There are no further outages or transaction issues being experienced by our users."

Apart from scaling, the company has also launched a slew of new features and security measures for the app. The company identified a small technical bug, which was leading to slight disruption in its services for apple iOS users. The technical bug was immediately identified and fixed.

Paytm is also working on creating awareness about its services to educate its users on how to use their wallet.
