Paytm Payments Bank on Friday said customers can continue using FASTag for making payments at enabled toll and parking merchants up to the available balance in their wallets despite the RBI’s deadline for not accepting deposits taking effect on March 15

“However, no further funding or top-ups will be allowed in the FASTags issued by Paytm Payments Bank after March 15,” the bank said.

It said customers can close the Paytm Payments Bank FASTag via the Paytm App within five to seven working days. 

It said there are no restrictions on withdrawing funds from existing balances. “The RBI directive explicitly states that existing balances in accounts and wallets are secure, alleviating concerns regarding the safety of deposited funds,” it added.
