The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has given its nod to the reappointment of Paytm CEO, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, as the part-time chairman of Paytm Payments Bank Ltd (PPBL) for another year.

What Happened? This development, marking Sharma’s third term, begins on May 23, according to a regulatory filing by Paytm’s parent company, One97 Communications.

Presently, One97 Communications holds a 49% stake in PPBL, while Sharma owns the rest.

In the March quarter, One97 Communications significantly reduced its losses. The company’s consolidated net loss dropped to ₹168 crore, a considerable decrease from ₹761 crore the previous year and ₹392 crore from the preceding quarter.

The firm attributes this 51% surge to an increase in gross merchandise value (GMV), higher merchant subscription revenues, and growth in loans distributed through its platform.

During the fourth quarter, the Paytm platform facilitated the distribution of loans amounting to ₹12,554 crore across its three loan product offerings, namely Paytm Postpaid, Personal Loans, and Merchant Loans.

The company sees a promising future for growth in this business, citing the current low penetration rates for each of its loan distribution products, according to a company statement.

Price Action: Paytm shares were down 0.67% at ₹715.20 soon after markets opened for trading on Wednesday.
