Former chairman of SEBI M Damodaran, head of advisory committee set up by One97 Communications said they have been engaging with the group on matters relating to the Advisory Committee's terms of reference.

This direction came after the Indian Highways Management Company Ltd (IHMCL) barred Paytm Payments Bank from issuing fresh FASTags.

As of now, no irregularities have been detected and a case under FEMA will only be registered once any contravention under the said law is found.

Paytm said that the company and its associates have continued to provide information, documents, and explanations to the authorities as required by them.

RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das said that RBI will soon issue a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAO) targeting inconveniences and difficulties being faced by customers and depositors.

Paytm stated in a blog post that it assures users the services will be available without any disruption. Additionally, it mentioned partnering with other banks to offer services following the RBI directive on its associate PPBL.

The advisory committee will be headed by former SEBI chairman M Damodaran, CA MM Chitale, and erstwhile chairman and managing director of Andhra Bank, R Ramachandran.

In 2023, the central government rejected the company's proposal for post-facto approval for investments made in another subsidiary called Paytm Payments Services Ltd (PPSL) over concerns about Chinese investments.
