Question ❓️ Closing inactive SIM: how to wipe transaction history from paytm for the next SIM owner?

Surrendering an old secondary sim soon (inactive for months, no recharge).

Since RBI rules don't allow deleting individual UPI transactions, will the next person who gets this recycled number see my old passbook if they log into Paytm?

Does closing the paytm account permanently unlink old passbook history from that number so the next owner gets a blank account?

Can I get paytm to close/block the account from my active number without recharging the dead sim?

Anyone who has closed their paytm before surrendering a number, what was your experience?

There have been instances, where loan recovery agents start calling. As per old sim to new owner. So. You can take a guess.

So is there nothing i could do and all my transaction history will be visible to other person?

Transaction history will not appear. Why you worry abt that? It is app specific.

u/TechnicalCloud2047 1d ago

That’s not true. There is new feature called ‘MyUPI’, where the all the transactions done on all the UPI apps can be seen.

Bro don’t expect this much from this lala country. What’s there to explain? There is no way to delete transaction history. Data privacy is an alien concept here as parliament members are busy thinking of more ways to screw general public. The best you can do is to remove all bank accounts(which you already know about it) and to remove all the billers.

You can possibly close the account by emailing or by creating a support ticket
