Paytm Payments Bank restricts transactions into Yes Bank accounts

Paytm Payments Bank Ltd (PPBL) on Friday restricted transaction settlements, including those done through UPI platform, into cash-strapped Yes Bank’s accounts.

The decision by PPBL follows the Reserve Bank of India’s move to cap withdrawals from Yes Bank accounts at Rs 50,000 per depositor for a month and imposed strict limits on operations at the country’s fourth-largest private lender that faced “regular outflow of liquidity” after an effort to raise new capital failed.

“Paytm Payments Bank Ltd (PPBL) today (Friday) announced that they are restricting transaction settlements, including UPI, into Yes Bank accounts to safeguard their users’ money,” PPBL said in a statement.
