Paytm on Monday announced that it has achieved 7 million users for its Postpaid service and is on course to hit 15 million users milestone by the end of the current financial year. The company also announced it is extending Postpaid service to Android Mini App Store and POS devices.

In a release, Paytm said that it is also expanding its partnership with the developers’ community for the recently launched Android Mini App Store.

By delivering a transparent payment option, that is suited to a shopper’s needs, we will help even more people live a healthy lifestyle,” said Bhavesh Gupta, CEO - Paytm Lending.
