How to create BHIM UPI on Paytm?
Before creating an ID, it must be clear from your side that the mobile number registered with your existing bank account and Paytm should match to create a Paytm BHIM UPI ID. Now, create an ID by following these steps:
- Tap on the BHIM UPI icon. If you can’t see the BHIM UPI icon on the App home screen, then update the latest version of the App.
- Select your bank account to proceed.
- Your bank will verify your mobile number. (By default, your registered mobile number will be your ID).
- Set your M-PIN. That’s it!
Lets’ take an example: If your registered mobile number is 9123456789, the UPI ID will be generated as 9123456789@paytm. Though, you will get an option to change your ID other than your mobile number like nishant@paytm.
