One 97 Communications news today

As quoted by Economic Times, Paytm Payments Services Limited (PPSL) has secured in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India to operate as an online payment aggregator. For you, this means the company can start onboarding merchants again, but only within the boundaries of RBI’s strict rules. It’s a nod of confidence from the regulator—but it comes with a checklist that PPSL must tick off before the approval becomes final.

Key Takeaways

  • RBI has okayed PPSL to act as an online payment aggregator — but only after it ticks off specific compliance conditions.

  • The licence doesn’t cover everything — merchant payouts via escrow accounts are still off-limits.

  • PPSL has six months to complete a detailed system and cyber security audit by an RBI-recognised auditor.

  • They’ll also need to follow RBI’s data storage rules and get prior approval for any major ownership or control changes.

Why This Matters 

If you’ve been around since 2022, you might remember the RBI telling PPSL to stop onboarding new merchants. For a payments business, that’s like being told you can still run your shop… but no new customers allowed.

Now, with this nod, PPSL can start bringing new merchants on board again. But — and this is a big but — it’s not a free pass. The approval is for online payment aggregation only. It’s like getting the keys to your car back but being told you can only drive on certain roads.

The Audit Hurdle

Here’s where it gets tricky. PPSL has to bring in an auditor — not just any CA from your neighbourhood, but someone with a CERT-In, CISA, or DISA badge. This person will pick through their systems, cyber security protocols, and check whether they’re following RBI’s cyber resilience playbook from July 2024.

And the clock’s ticking. Six months from the approval date, that report has to land on the RBI’s desk. No extensions mentioned. Miss it, and the approval lapses automatically.

Market Watch

One 97 Communications share price stands at ₹1,120 per share on the BSE as of 12 Aug 2025 at 03:59 IST. Now, it’s unclear that this approval will swing the stock one way or another — markets are far too unpredictable for that kind of certainty — but it does put PPSL back into the spotlight.

For investors like you, it’s less about the headline and more about what happens in the next six months. Do they clear the audit? Do they meet every RBI checkbox? That’s what will really decide if this nod turns into a full licence or just another “almost there” moment in fintech history.
