The bank has also been directed to appoint an IT audit firm to conduct a comprehensive system audit of its IT system.
"Onboarding of new customers by Paytm Payments Bank Ltd will be subject to specific permission to be granted by RBI after reviewing report of the IT auditors. This action is based on certain material supervisory concerns observed in the bank," it said.
Paytm Payments Bank was incorporated in August 2016 and formally began its operations in May 2017 from a branch in Noida.
In December 2020, the RBI had barred HDFC Bank from launching any new digital products or services and issuing new credit cards till the lender resolved recurring tech issues.
