Post-demonetisation, Paytm has found many new consumers. From vegetable vendors to book stall owners, Paytm is used by almost every section. Now, religious places have also joined the bandwagon.

Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, Cathedral Church of The Redemption in Delhi and ISKCON Temple in Indore have joined hands with Paytm to enable cashless donations, said a press statement released by One97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm.

“Over the past few months, many places of public worship have started accepting donations through Paytm. We will continue to support this evolution by providing an option to collect cashless donations at all places of worship across the country,” Kiran Vasireddy, senior vice-president, Paytm said.

Paytm is available in 10 different regional languages - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya and Punjabi.
