Such a request by our friend is not considered as a loan and such small funds keep our life going in paying travel, movie ticket, bills, online purchases, shopping, and some other kinds of stuff.

Paytm has come in alliance with ICICI bank, which is the largest private sector bank in India considering the consolidated assets, to make a Paytm-ICICI Bank Postpaid facility.
