Transaction Limits and Charges

PAYTM, like other UPI apps, imposes transaction limits and charges for certain activities. These limits may vary based on account type (KYC vs. non-KYC) and UPI guidelines set by the Reserve Bank of India. Users should be aware of these limits and charges to avoid any inconvenience during transactions.

Daily Transaction Limit: PayTM UPI users might have a daily transaction limit which restricts the maximum amount of money they can send or receive via UPI in a single day. Monthly Transaction Limit: Similarly, PayTM may impose a monthly transaction limit which restricts the total amount of UPI transactions that can be performed in a month. Charges: While UPI transactions are often free, there might be charges applicable in certain scenarios such as transferring money from a wallet to a bank account or using a non-PayTM UPI app to transfer funds.

Note: The specific steps might vary slightly depending on the version of the PayTM app or any updates made after my last update in September 2021. However, the general process of linking your bank account, setting up a UPI PIN, and initiating a UPI money transfer should remain similar.
