Paytm Money Limited, a One 97 Communications company, was cleared by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to function as a Research Analyst registered with the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014. Such a milestone enables Paytm Money to provide SEBI-compliant investment suggestions, research reports, and data-centric insights, augmenting its investment value proposition.
With this imposition, Paytm Money plans to introduce research and advisory services within the Paytm Money application itself. This will provide retail as well as institutional investors with expert-backed insights to make well-educated financial decisions.
The launch is Paytm Money's effort to simplify and improve user experience and widen its financial offerings. Paytm also launched 'UPI Trading Blocks' in the first half of the month, an NPCI UPI-based automated payment system. This facilitates automatic debit of funds while initiating trades without entering a UPI PIN every time, enhancing efficiency and transparency by leaving funds in the investor's bank account until needed for a trade.
Paytm Money's SEBI registration is a major milestone towards becoming a more integrated and reliable investment platform to lead users through the market confidently and professionally.
