All you had to do was make a call on a toll-free number (1800 1800 1234) and pay and receive your money instantly. But all you had to do was register to Paytm via your mobile number. So, while you need an internet connection only for the basic installation, Paytm made it possible to make your transactions even without an internet later.

In the time of demonetization when people had to queue up outside the ATM for withdrawing their own cash, Paytm made it easier to make basic payments be it to a grocery store by just putting your phone number. From a small cigarette shop to a big grocery store, everyone had themselves registered on Paytm. This only encouraged more and more customers to follow, making it one of the most downloaded apps today.
