Important Safety Warning: Beware of the “Fake Support & Screen Share Scam.” Scammers frequently buy ads on Google displaying fake Paytm Money customer service helplines. This is a scam. Paytm Money staff will never ask you to pay a “processing fee” to unlock your trading account, share your PIN/OTP, or ask you to download third-party screen-sharing apps (like AnyDesk/RustDesk) to troubleshoot a failed trade.
Level 1: Customer Support (Initial Complaint)
How to complain: Register your complaint (failed trades, margin issues, mutual fund unit allocation, or fund withdrawal delays) directly by creating a ticket on the Paytm Money Support Portal or the mobile app. You can also call their official customer care numbers at 022-64891010 or 07969292500, or email exg.support@paytmmoney.com. You must ensure you receive a unique “Ticket Number” - without this number, your complaint does not legally exist in the regulatory system.
Availability: Phone support operates Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
Timeline: Paytm Money aims to acknowledge complaints and resolve Level 1 issues within a few business days, though the absolute regulatory maximum before external escalation is 15 days.
Level 2: Internal Escalation (Head of Customer Care & Compliance Officer)
Who to contact: If Level 1 support fails, your funds remain blocked, or you suffer losses due to a platform technical glitch, you must escalate through Paytm Money’s designated matrix. First, escalate your Ticket Number to the Head of Customer Care by calling 07969292501. If unresolved after 15 days, you must escalate to the Compliance Officer at exg.complianceofficer@paytmmoney.com or call 07969292502.
Timeline: The internal compliance team must review the escalation and provide a reasoned resolution within the overall 30-day corporate resolution window.
Level 3: Final Internal Escalation (Chief Executive Officer)
Who to contact: If the Compliance Officer fails to resolve the issue to your satisfaction, you must escalate to the final internal authority: the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) by calling 07969292503 or emailing info@paytmmoney.com. Written legal notices must be sent via physical post to their operational headquarters (Paytm Money Limited, The Hub, 1st/3rd Floor, Sy No 8 & 8/2 Ambalipura Village, Varthur Hobli, Sarjapura Main Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka - 560103) or their registered office (136, 1st Floor, Devika Tower, Nehru Place, New Delhi – 110019).
Level 4: Administrative Mediation (SEBI SCORES 2.0 & Stock Exchanges)
Authority: If Paytm Money’s CEO rejects your claim, or 30 days have passed since your initial Level 1 complaint without a resolution, you have exhausted internal remedies. Your next step is administrative intervention through the SEBI Complaint Redress System (SCORES 2.0) or the respective stock exchange (NSE, BSE, or CDSL for demat issues).
Portal/Contact: File your formal grievance online at the upgraded SEBI portal: scores.sebi.gov.in. Alternatively, you can lodge the complaint directly with the Investor Grievance Redressal Mechanism of the specific exchange/depository where the failed trade occurred. Ensure you quote your original Paytm Money Ticket Number.
Level 5: Arbitration & Legal Action (SMART ODR)
Pre-Litigation & Arbitration: If administrative mediation fails, or the broker refuses to comply with an exchange directive regarding financial compensation for a technical glitch or unauthorized trade, you must initiate formal dispute resolution. Under SEBI regulations, you must file for conciliation and arbitration through the unified SMART ODR portal (smartodr.in).
Court/Arbitration: The SMART ODR platform will appoint an independent conciliator, and if that fails, an arbitrator to issue a legally binding award. If you wish to challenge an arbitration award, or for matters falling outside SEBI’s strict purview, you may subsequently approach the appropriate courts or file a case using the government’s unified e-Jagriti portal (e-jagriti.gov.in). You can also use the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) at 1915 for pre-litigation counseling.
Timeline: You must file the arbitration claim within the limitation period prescribed under the Limitation Act.
