Our latest Campaign reassures Users & Merchants that our QR and Soundbox will Continue to work Today, Tomorrow, Always

byPreeti VermaLast Updated: February 21, 2024

We have launched a new print advertising campaign to reassure users and merchants that our QR, Soundbox and card machine will continue to work ‘today, tomorrow, and always’.

Our innovative payment devices are here to stay. We also thanked our digital India partners, who helped us in countering any rumours. The ad also asked readers and our user base to refer to numbers 21 and 22 of FAQs released by the central bank that answers questions that users or merchants may have about our QR Code, Soundbox and Card Machines.

From the FAQs, point no 21: 

Q: I am a merchant and I accept payments using a Paytm QR code, Paytm soundbox or Paytm POS terminal, linked to another bank account (not with Paytm Payments Bank). Can I continue to use this set-up even after March 15, 2024?

Yes. If your receipt and transfer of funds is linked to any bank account other than Paytm Payments Bank, you can continue to use this arrangement even after March 15, 2024. 

“As pioneers of QR code, soundbox and mobile payments in India, we have always been at the forefront of the Digital revolution in India. With this ‘India’s every Paytm QR & Soundbox will keep working Today, Tomorrow, Always’ campaign, we aim to dispel any rumours, and confirm that our innovative devices will continue to empower merchant partners with seamless payments.”

Paytm Spokesperson said

We were the first to launch QR code-based payments in India. We also pioneered audio-based confirmations with our Paytm Soundbox, which revolutionised in-store payments in the country. Our payment devices have seen widespread adoption by merchants, enabling small and medium businesses with robust growth.

RBI Hikes UPI Tax Payment Limit to Rs 5 Lakh

UPI Limit for Tax Payments Increased from Rs 1 Lakh to Rs 5 Lakh

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has increased the UPI limit for tax payments from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh. This means you can now pay larger tax amounts quickly and easily using UPI.

Effective immediately, taxpayers can transfer up to Rs 5 lakh in a single UPI transaction for paying taxes. This move aims to simplify the tax payment process and encourage digital payments. Additionally, the RBI has introduced 'delegated payments' through UPI, allowing users to authorize another person to make UPI payments from their account.

These measures are expected to make tax payments more convenient and boost digital payment adoption across India.
