Indian digital payment platform Paytm has expanded its ‘Rent Payments’ feature by allowing users to pay their rent using their credit cards.

Tenants can now use their credit cards to transfer their monthly rent amount to the landlords’ bank account instantly.

Paytm is also rewarding the tenants by offering a cashback of up to INR1,000 ($13.72) on every transaction.

Additionally, users will get credit card points, which they can accumulate and redeem.

The ‘Rent Payments’ feature can be accessed from the ‘Recharge & Pay Bills’ section on Paytm Home Screen.

To make the payment, users only need to enter the bank account details of the landlord.

“The company is committed to making all recurring payments such as utility bills, credit card bills, etc hassle-free for users across the country.

“Soon, payments through credit cards will be enabled for other recurring expenses such as tuition fees, house-help’s salary, etc.”
