Super excited to announce the launch of our latest mobile app update – version 3.0! You need to check this out right now!
Why is this called version 3.0 & not 2.4? Well, this is not just any other app update with a few bug fixes, etc. No sir! When we call it an update, we really mean it. Let’s begin by telling you about the two BIGGEST features of this update.
1. Book your bus tickets on the go!
At the bus stop, or better yet, on the way to your bus stop. How cool is that! And that’s not all; we maintain your order details & booking history too. So your next road trip should be booked through the Paytm mobile app.
2. Deals That Make You Drool
We bring you the absolute best repertoire of coupons in the country. Heck, we even pay for some of these to bring to you! Currently you can enjoy exclusive offers from Bookmyshow, Dominos and Café Coffee Day to name a few. You will see them getting updated very frequently too.
Some awesome deals that you will get on Paytm: Rs. 50 off on your next movie booked through Bookmyshow; Rs 100 on your next pizza party form Dominos; 10% off on everything at Snapdeal. Download the new app now and get these benefits.

It was 3rd of February 2013 when we were crossed 500,000 app downloads on the Google Play Store and were delighted about achieving this big number. Little did we know that our next milestone was going to come so soon and we were going to make it even BIGGER within the next 3 months.
With over 1 million downloads and over 13,000 five star comments on Google Play Store, Paytm is by far the #1 mobile recharge app in the country and we thank all of YOU for it – for placing your trust, time and money in Paytm.
It is at times like these that one remembers all the hard work and perseverance that has been put in by the team to achieve this success. Burning the mid night oil to roll out the app in time, the incessant team fights on deciding the best communication, waking up at 3am to resolve a Payment Gateway problem – it all seems worth it now.
But as the popular saying goes – Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Eyes down for the next million!

We recently launched paid coupons for premium & exclusive deals on Paytm. And would like to thank you all for the stupendous response.
Over 90k customers have already opted for these deals & hungry for more…
On one hand we brought smiles to thousands of these customers, but at the same time, we got a few comments from users who didn’t realize that these were paid ones & ended up adding them by mistake.
At Paytm, we value every users’ feedback; so in order to prevent this from happening again, we’ve made changes to the coupons page UI to make it amply clear to the users which ones are to be paid for & which ones are free. Following is what we have just done:
Hope this removes all uncertainties & helps all our users in being absolutely clear on what they are getting & how much they have to pay for it (if any).
