“The Reserve Bank of India has published guidelines that it intends to enforce for digital lending firms, recommending more transparency and control to customers as the South Asian nation’s central bank moves to take further steps to crack down on sketchy practices and creditors.”

"Paytm’s BNPL revenues are largely scattered across three components – convenience fee from the consumer, late payment fee from users and the merchant discount rate (MDR) paid by merchants.
