Urgent Attention: Your Paytm KYC Suspension Explained

Dear Paytm Customer,

We regret to inform you that your Paytm account has been suspended due to incomplete KYC verification. To ensure the safety and security of your account, we kindly request your immediate action to complete the verification process.

What is KYC and Why is it Important?

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a regulatory requirement that helps us verify your identity and prevent financial fraud. It involves collecting your personal and financial information to ensure that you are the legitimate owner of the Paytm account.

Consequences of KYC Suspension

If your KYC verification is not completed within the specified timeframe, your account will remain suspended. This means that you will be unable to:

• Access your Paytm wallet
• Make or receive payments
• Use Paytm for shopping or other services
• Withdraw funds from your account

How to Complete Your KYC Verification

To complete your KYC verification, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Log in to your Paytm app or website.
2. Select the "Complete KYC" option.
3. Provide your personal and financial information as requested.
4. Upload clear copies of your identity proof and address proof.
5. Submit the verification request.

Required Documents for KYC Verification

• Identity Proof: PAN card, Aadhaar card, Voter ID card, Driving license
• Address Proof: Utility bills (electricity, water, gas), Bank statement, Rental agreement

Timeline for KYC Verification

Paytm typically processes KYC verification requests within 24-48 hours. However, in some cases, it may take longer depending on the volume of requests and the clarity of the submitted documents.

What Happens After KYC Verification?

Once your KYC verification is complete, your Paytm account will be reactivated, and you will be able to resume using all the services.

Don't Procrastinate!

We urge you to complete your KYC verification as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience or loss of access to your Paytm account.
