Some users are still facing issues while making transactions using their Paytm wallets. The company said it is routing the additional traffic to new servers and is working on installing additional capacity. Paytm said it is handling close to seven million transactions in a day, surpassing all the transactions made on credit and debit cards.
People facing issues with Paytm app had the option to check out alternative services such as Ola Money and MobiKwik.

However, people in the city of Imphal, the capital of the north eastern state of Manipur, have been left with no means to make any online transactions. The Indian government imposed a shutdown of internet services in the region after violence erupted over the economic blockade over the weekend.
This is not the first time when the government has shutdown internet services in parts of the country. The practice is routinely followed in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, which is at the core of dispute between India and neighboring Pakistan.
Internet services have also been shut down in cities in the western state of Gujarat during times of riots and protests as well as in the eastern state of Bihar during important exams.
