As per a recent update from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regarding customers with a Paytm Payments Bank (PPB) account, here are a few important things you must keep in mind which will come into effect from 13 March 2024:
- Upstox will no longer accept payments or mandate requests through PPB
- If PPB is your Primary bank account on Upstox, you will no longer be able to use it to add or withdraw funds
- If you have a Secondary bank account other than PPB, we will mark your Secondary account as your Primary account
- Mutual Fund transactions after 13 March 2024 will no longer be processed through your PPB account
