Settlements and Bank Transfers

Why do I need to upload a cancelled cheque while trying to change my bank account for settlement?

Dashboard/Business App:- In some cases, we are not able to automatically establish a link between your new bank account and your profile, so we ask for a cancelled cheque with your name on it to ensure that the account belongs to you.

How does Instant Bank Settlements work?

Dashboard/Business App: –  Select Paytm merchant partners can transfer the payments received from customers to their bank accounts whenever they want using the Instant Settlements feature. Think of this as a balance that keeps increasing as you receive payments. If Instant Settlement is enabled on your account, you have two options to transfer this balance to your bank account –

  1. You can manually transfer an amount greater than Rs. 50 any time to your bank account via the Paytm for Business app, as many times as you want.
  2. You can opt for same-day auto-transfer which doesn’t require you to initiate any manual transfers. You can select any of the following options for automatic same-day bank transfer –
  • Once a day at 5:00 AM
  • Twice a day at 5:00 AM and 4:00 PM
  • Thrice a day at 5:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM

How can I check my settlements?

  • Business App: – All your transactions are settled to your bank account by the next day. So if you take a customer payment on Monday, it will be settled in your bank account by Tuesday morning. After settlement, Paytm notifies you through SMS confirming the transfer. If you have enabled notifications from Business with Paytm App, you will also get an app notification.
  • You can also check your settlements in Business with Paytm App in the settlements tab of your app:-
  • Go to Settlements tab
  • Select Today/Yesterday/Date range (To check settlements of particular date or period)

Here, you will be able to check the:

  • Settlement amount
  • Settlement Date
  • Settlement time and 
  • Settlement Reference no. or UTR number which will also be there in your bank statement so you can reconcile with your bank

Please note that you can check the bank account in which settlement is being done from Business with Paytm App in “Accept Payment Settings”.

How would I know when Paytm has settled my payments in my bank account?

  •  Dashboard/Business App: – Paytm always sends you an SMS when your bank transfer has been processed. You can also see the transfer status in the Paytm for Business app or Paytm Dashboard. Depending on the bank, your payment is usually settled within a few hours. In rare cases, the transfer gets delayed due to technical issues. We send you another SMS if this happens. At all times, your money is safe with Paytm and we do everything to transfer your payment as soon as possible.

Why my settlement is is repeatedly failing? How can it be fixed?

  • Business with Paytm sends the amount you have received from your customers via Paytm directly to the bank account you provide while activating your account. Your due amount is usually settled to your bank within T+1 day, T being the date when the payment(s) is received. This cycle may get extended due to bank holidays. Also, on rare occasions, due to technical issues at the bank’s end, some merchants experience settlement failures. If your settlements are getting failed repeatedly, we suggest you to change your linked bank account for a smooth settlement process. 

Tap on Accept Payment Settings>>Bank Details edit, to change your bank account.

What is my settlement cycle?

 

  • Dashboard: – The total payment you have received in one day (24 hours) is transferred to your bank account by the next working day in most cases. Due to issues from bank’s end, the settlement may get delayed sometimes. You can check the status of your transfer in the Paytm for Business app or in the Paytm Dashboard.
