India’s leading digital ecosystem for consumers and merchants Paytm (1) (Owned by One97 Communications Limited) has today announced an expansion of its Rent Payment services to include new categories like car rentals, furniture rentals, wedding services like venue, catering and decor as well as guesthouse rentals and society maintenance. This is in addition to the already existing payment solutions for house rent, shop rentals, property deposit, token amount and brokerage fee.
Rent payments can be made directly to the beneficiary’s UPI ID for deposits on his/her bank account or by directly feeding the bank account details. While for the convenience of the sender, the company offers a vast range of payment modes including credit card, debit card, Paytm UPI, Paytm Postpaid (buy now, pay later) and net-banking.
The platform is also offering an assured cashback of up to Rs. 10,000 to users on rental payments through credit cards. In addition to this, new and existing users can also earn rewards from their credit card’s issuing bank for rent payments on Paytm. By referring a friend to use the rent payment feature, users also stand to win cashback points of 10,000.
