Step 2 : Ask the recipient to Add money to Paytm Wallet from their bank account 

  1. Recipient’s Action: The recipient, upon receiving the money in their bank account, can log in to their Paytm app.
  2. Add Money: In the Paytm app, they can select the “Add Money” option.
  3. Choose Bank Account: Choose the option to add money from their bank account and select the bank account from which they received the IMPS transfer.
  4. Enter Amount: Input the amount they wish to add to their Paytm wallet and confirm the transaction.

Note :

  • IMPS transfers are usually quick and occur in real-time or within a few minutes, but it’s advisable to confirm with your bank regarding the transfer time.
  • Ensure the recipient has linked their bank account to their Paytm wallet for a seamless transfer.
  • Check for any charges associated with the IMPS transfer, as banks may impose certain fees for these transactions.
  • Ensure that you have accurate recipient details and confirm the transfer process with the recipient to avoid any issues or delays. Additionally, Paytm’s functionalities might evolve, so it’s a good idea to check the app for any updated features that may offer direct IMPS transfer to Paytm wallets.
