Digital financial services platform Paytm has launched Postpaid Mini, an extension of its Buy Now, Pay Later service, to drive affordability amongst those new to credit.

The small-ticket instant loans will give flexibility to users to maintain liquidity during the Covid pandemic. This service has been launched in partnership with Aditya Birla Finance Ltd.

With the launch of Postpaid Mini, the company will offer access to loans ranging from ₹250 to ₹1,000, in addition to Paytm Postpaid’s instant credit of up to ₹60,000. This will enable users to pay for their monthly expenses, including mobile and DTH recharges, gas cylinder booking, electricity and water bills, shop on Paytm Mall and more, according to the company.
