The company said in a stock exchange filing, “Going forward, we expect revenue and profitability to improve, driven by growth in operating parameters such as GMV, an expanding merchant base, recovery in loan distribution business and continued focus on cost optimisation.”

The Reserve Bank of India placed restrictions on the firm’s associated entity Paytm Payments Bank Limited (PPBL) in January this year. Earlier, Paytm wrote off 227.1 crore worth of investment in PPBL and accounted for it as impairment losses.
