BENGALURU: Paytm on Monday evening said its cricket league cashbacks through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is now back on its app after it made changes to the programme.
In the current version, a user will have to submit all his stickers to claim a cashback. In the earlier version, the user had the option to choose a select number of stickers from the total number for the cashback.
Paytm said it still “firmly” disagrees with Google’s stand on its cricket league cashback, which kicked up a storm after the search engine giant took the mobile payments app off the Play Store for several hours. After Paytm made changes, the app was restored the same day on September 18.
“Our users can be assured that Paytm has never been involved in anything that can be considered betting or gambling. We believe that such arbitrary actions and accusatory labelling go against the laws of our country and acceptable norms of fair competition by arbitrarily depriving our users of innovative services,” the company added in its post.
On September 20, it said Google has a different set of rules of its own payments app Google Pay, which its US-based parent firm denied.
