Paytm Customer Care Contact No: Complete, Up‑to‑date Support Guide
When you need help with Paytm—whether it’s a failed recharge, UPI reversal, wallet refund, FASTag recharge, or a Payments Bank concern—the fastest and safest route is Paytm’s in‑app 24×7 Help. Phone support exists for select cases, but most queries are resolved quicker through the app, which ties your ticket directly to your order ID and account.
This guide explains the official contact numbers currently used for key Paytm services, how to reach the right team from within the app, expected timelines, and safety precautions to avoid scams. Because helplines can change, always cross‑check the number inside the Paytm app or on the official help portal before calling.

The Official Way to Reach Paytm Support
The primary support channel is the 24×7 Help section in the Paytm app. It offers category‑based help flows (Payments, Wallet, UPI, PPBL accounts, FASTag, tickets, travel, and more), connects your ticket to the relevant transaction, and allows you to request a callback when a phone conversation is necessary. This dramatically reduces time spent explaining your issue from scratch.
Open the Paytm app and go to: Profile (top left) → 24×7 Help & Support → choose the product (e.g., UPI, Wallet, FASTag) → pick your transaction → select “Issue not resolved? Contact Support.” For many categories, you can raise a ticket with attachments (screenshots, bank reference numbers, etc.). You’ll receive status updates within the same thread, and you can track SLAs without leaving the app.
Verified Phone Numbers and When to Use Them
Paytm emphasizes resolving most issues via the in‑app Help. However, there are cases—particularly FASTag and certain bank‑related queries—where a call is appropriate. Before dialing, verify the number inside the app or at care.paytm.com to avoid spoofed helplines.
As of 2024, commonly referenced helplines are:
– Paytm general helpline (IVR for Payments/Wallet/UPI): 0120‑4456‑456 (standard call charges apply; availability and routing can vary by issue category).
– Paytm FASTag toll‑free: 1800‑120‑4210 (for tag activation, recharge, blacklist/whitelist status, and toll deduction disputes).
– NHAI FASTag grievance helpline (works for any issuer, including Paytm): 1033 (for toll plaza issues, double deduction at a plaza, or when issuer support is unreachable).
These numbers are widely cited, but Paytm can change routing and availability without notice. Always confirm inside the 24×7 Help before calling. If you need to block a card or wallet urgently, you can also trigger “block” actions from the app; it is faster and safer than waiting on a call queue.
How to Find the Right Number Inside the Paytm App
The app will show the most accurate number for your specific product and region. It also ensures you reach a live agent only when your case requires it, which reduces wait times and improves resolution quality.
Follow these steps to surface the correct contact path and, where applicable, request a callback linked to your case:
- Open Paytm → tap your Profile photo → 24×7 Help & Support → select a product (UPI, Wallet, Paytm Payments Bank, FASTag, etc.).
- Pick the exact transaction or service → choose the issue category → follow guided prompts. If a call is appropriate, you’ll see a “Call” or “Request a callback” option.
- If you cannot locate the transaction, open care.paytm.com in a browser while signed in to the same account to view your tickets and the recommended escalation channel.
Escalations and Grievance Redressal
If your issue isn’t resolved within the stated timeline, you can escalate it. For Paytm app transactions (non‑bank), use the 24×7 Help ticket → “Not resolved? Escalate” option. Document your order ID, date/time, amount, and any bank UTR/reference numbers. Keep screenshots of errors and SMS confirmations; they significantly accelerate disposition.
For Paytm Payments Bank–related issues (savings account, debit card, wallet issued by PPBL, FASTag issued by PPBL), refer to the official grievance redressal page listed on paytmbank.com. It publishes the latest escalation matrix, turnaround times, and the Nodal Officer details. If you must submit a formal grievance, quote your ticket number from the first level and attach all supporting evidence.
Safety Checklist Before You Call
Scam attempts often impersonate Paytm support using look‑alike numbers or messages. The in‑app Help and official web portal are your safest starting points. Never trust numbers from search engine ads or social media comments.
- Never share OTPs, card CVV, full card number, UPI PIN, or login passwords with anyone—including “support agents.” Paytm will never ask for them.
- Avoid installing remote‑access apps (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, etc.) at someone’s request. This is a common fraud vector.
- Dial only numbers shown inside the Paytm app or at care.paytm.com; avoid third‑party directories. Save verified numbers in your phone for quick access.
- If you suspect fraud, immediately block your card/wallet/UPI from the app and report the transaction. For FASTag toll disputes, also note the plaza name, date/time, and vehicle number.
Common Issues and the Fastest Channel
UPI pending or failed: most UPI reversals auto‑resolve within T+2 working days if the transaction is in a “pending” state. The app shows the status live; raise a ticket only if the deadline passes. Include your UTR (12‑digit or longer bank reference) for bank‑side traceability. For urgent beneficiary corrections or mandate cancellations, in‑app chat typically beats phone queues.
Wallet and card transactions: for wallet loads that failed but were debited from your bank, reversals often complete within T+2–T+5 working days depending on the bank rails used. Attach the bank debit SMS/UTR in your ticket. For card hotlisting or unauthorized transactions, use the in‑app “Block” option first, then escalate through 24×7 Help. Phone contact is recommended only if you cannot access the app.
FASTag: When to Call vs. Use the App
For most FASTag issues (low balance, recharge failures, tag not detected, vehicle class mismatch), start in the app under FASTag → Manage Tag. You can view status, blacklist/whitelist state, and past toll deductions. Disputes tied to a specific toll plaza are often resolved faster if you also log them via 1033 with exact plaza details.
Use the toll‑free 1800‑120‑4210 for Paytm FASTag if your tag is blocked in error, the vehicle number is incorrect on the tag, or you cannot change status from the app. Keep your vehicle registration number, tag serial number, and last 3–5 tolls (date/time/amount) ready before calling to reduce verification time.
Where to Verify the Latest Numbers
To avoid outdated or spoofed numbers, verify directly at these official locations before you dial:
– In the Paytm app: Profile → 24×7 Help & Support → product → Contact options
– Paytm Help Portal: care.paytm.com
– Paytm Payments Bank site (for PPBL products): paytmbank.com (see Grievance Redressal/Contact sections)
Because contact routing and service hours can change during high‑volume periods or regulatory updates, checking in‑app takes seconds and ensures you reach the correct queue on your first attempt. Keep your order ID, registered mobile number, and any bank references on hand to speed up resolution.
