    1. Dear Pooja,
      Whether you did any investment at first along with KYC process in Paytm Money? I think they process the next steps of KYC only when you do transact (not sure but it happened with one of my client). Hence, try to do the transactions. If your issue still persists, then contact the Paytm.

  7. Buddh sen Is this full KYC with CRA (means we can invest more that 40k) or ekyc with limits on investment?

  8. Hi Basavaraj,
    Is this full KYC with CRA (means we can invest more that 50k) or ekyc with limits on investment?
