How can I recover money sent to a wrong number?

If you have transferred money to a wrong number, you should first contact your bank or the payment system provider for assistance. Banks may be able to help reclaim the funds by consulting with the recipient's bank to block and return the money, though recovery often depends on the receiver's consent or if the funds have already been spent. If the number was used for a recharge and is inactive, reversal may be easier. Paytm, for instance, requires receiver consent for successful transaction reversals.
