Bilaspur consumer commission ordered Paytm to refund ₹6,437 for a cancelled Go Airlines ticket, plus 6% interest, ₹10,000 compensation and ₹5,000 costs, finding the platform failed to pass on an airline refund.

Why this matters

The ruling follows a recent signal on Paytm being ordered to pay ₹21,437 plus interest in another airline refund dispute, adding to scrutiny as Paytm pursues an RBI PPI licence and builds a ₹40,000 crore cash reserve.
