Let’s take a look at how you can add money to your Paytm wallet-

Add Money to your Paytm Wallet through UPI

Linking your bank account to Paytm allows you to perform fast-forward transactions on the Paytm app, allowing you to make payments with a single click. You can use third-party apps and payment gateways to make faster bank-to-bank transfers and/or payments.

Follow these simple steps to add money to your Paytm wallet directly from your bank account:

Following that, you will be able to see all of the bank accounts that have been linked to your Paytm app. Choose the account from which you want to add money to your Paytm wallet and click ‘Pay Rs. XXX’.

After that, enter your passcode or PIN for the specific bank account. The money will be debited from the selected bank account and will be added to your Paytm wallet within a few seconds

In a few rare cases, where the add money status is ‘Pending,’ you must wait for a while before the transaction is completed. There is no need to panic in such a situation because it is simply a result of network connectivity. You can be confident that your money will be added to your Paytm wallet or refunded to your bank account.
