Paytm has rolled out a new feature called Postpaid on UPI, which allows you to spend instantly and pay back the following month. The service has been launched in partnership with Suryoday Small Finance Bank and is supported by NPCI. In simple words, it adds a short-term credit line directly to your UPI payments. news Also Read: No PIN Needed: Google Pay, Paytm, And PhonePe Users Can Pay Using Fingerprint Or Face Scan

With Paytm Postpaid on UPI, you don’t need to worry about paying on the spot every time you make a purchase or clear a bill. The feature works across all UPI merchants, whether you’re scanning a QR at your neighbourhood shop, shopping online, or just recharging your phone and paying household bills. The process is the same as any other UPI transaction, but instead of the money being deducted right away, you get up to 30 days of interest-free credit. That way, you can spend through the month and settle the amount in one go when the next cycle begins. news Also Read: Paytm Will Now Remind You About Your Pending Expenses! Here’s How To Use It
