Delhi HC Orders Winding up of Paytm Payments Bank, Appoints Former SBI Official as Liquidator

The court appointed a former State Bank of India executive to oversee liquidation after the Reserve Bank of India said the bank had violated licence conditions.

  • On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court ordered the winding up of Paytm Payments Bank Limited , finalizing the closure initiated by the Reserve Bank of India .
  • This liquidation follows the RBI's decision on April 24 to cancel PPBL's banking licence, citing serious regulatory violations and management concerns prejudicial to public interest.
  • The court appointed Girikumar M Nair, a former Chief General Manager of State Bank of India, as the Official Liquidator to oversee the process under the Banking Regulation Act and Companies Act.
  • Effective July 8, Nair assumed all powers of the PPBL Board, overseeing settlement of liabilities and repayment of depositors as the bank maintains sufficient liquidity.
  • This winding-up order applies specifically to the payments bank entity and does not stop services offered through the broader Paytm platform, which continues using other banking partners.
