Paytm can't use IPO proceeds for buyback; co's liquidity to be used: Report

One 97 Communications Ltd, the operator of India's largest digital payments provider Paytm, cannot use proceeds of its mega initial public offering (IPO) for the proposed repurchase of its own shares, as rules prohibit such a move, sources said, adding the firm will use its strong liquidity for the purpose. Paytm has a liquidity of Rs 9,182 crore, as per its last earnings report. The company's board is scheduled to meet on December 13 to consider a share buyback proposal.
