Paytm (One 97 communication limited) distances itself from Paytm Payments Bank Limited

As per latest press release OCL, will completely move its services to other bank and will only bank with other bank.

I am sure paytm payments bank will be back after some cool off period and some fines. I guess this is all done to manage their stocks 📉
