For doing this you need to generate 4 digit Paytm PIN on call, which you will be required to enter while making the transaction.

Through app:

You can add money by clicking on the add money option on the homepage of the app. You can use one of the many options from credit card, debit card, net banking credentials, ATM card and UPI ID to add money to your wallet.

Credit Card- Use your Master card, Visa, American express or Discover credit card to add money to your Paytm wallet and earn reward points for credit utilization. Paytm follows the two factor authentication method for verifying your payments.

Debit/ATM Card- You can also recharge your wallet through ATM or debit card. Paytm has special offers for Rupay debit card users. With every Rs 250 added to your wallet through a Rupay card, you get an additional balance of Rs 25 in your wallet.

Net banking- You can use your net banking credentials in case you don’t have your credit or debit card handy, to transfer money from your bank account to your Paytm wallet.

UPI Id- Paytm has recently launched this feature to enable UPI users to add money to their Paytm wallet. For doing this, you can choose UPI as the payment method, enter the amount, enter your virtual address and then click on ‘Pay now’ option. You will see a collect payment notification if you have a UPI enabled app, you can then select the respective transaction and click on approve for the payment to be processed.

Through Web:

While on the web interface, you can click on the Paytm icon on the top right corner of the home page and then proceed by entering the amount to add money to your wallet. Clicking on the ‘Add Money’ option will redirect you to a secure payment page, wherein you can enter details to process the transaction. You can use your credit or debit card details or net banking credentials to add wallet balance to your Paytm account. There is also a saved cards option on both app and web interface for quick processing of payments.

Through cash points:

Paytm has over 2 lakh cash points across the nation in their network, where you can go and convert cash into wallet balance. Many local kirana stores also serve as Paytm cash points.

Through other Paytm User:

Another way to increase your Paytm balance is to request a friend or acquaintance to transfer money to your wallet. You can pay them later by other means. Paytm does not support inter-wallet operability as of yet, and therefore only a paytm wallet user can transfer balance and add money to your account.

Through QR Code: Every Paytm wallet user has a unique QR code which belongs to their wallet app. You can find your own code by clicking on the accept payment option on the home page of the app. You can get a print out of this code and place it suitably to quicken the process of accepting payments. For sending payments through QR code, one simply needs to scan the code and enter the amount to be paid.

Through Phone Number: Every Paytm account is also linked to a particular mobile number which can be used for sending or receiving payments. You can share your mobile number to receive balance directly in your Paytm wallet. This feature enables users to send money to their contacts in a quick and hassle-free manner.
