Paytm swings into black, makes Rs 123 crore net profit in Q1 of FY26

MUMBAI: One 97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, has reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 123 crore in the June quarter as against a net loss of Rs 839 crore a year ago, boosted by strong lending business that helped it report Rs 1,918 crore in revenue, up 28%, and a tight leash on expenses.

The year-ago quarter saw the company taking the full impact of the RBI direction, which came into force from mid-February 2024, to shutter its key payments business for not properly following the KYC norms and a host of other failures despite repeated warnings.
