Paytm said it is currently in the process of seeking further information from SEBI regarding this matter.
Based on an independent legal opinion obtained by management, the company believes it is compliant with the relevant regulations, its auditor’s review report stated.

Accordingly, there is no impact on the financial results for previous quarters ended June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively,” the company stated.
Multiple reports earlier mentioned that SEBI has issued new show-cause notices to Paytm Founder and CEO, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, and erstwhile board members of One 97 Communications Ltd, over alleged misrepresentation of facts during the company’s initial public offering (IPO) in November 2021.
Paytm shares declined as much as 9 per cent during the intra-day trading and closed 4.48 per cent down at Rs 530 apiece. The average of 12-month analyst price targets implies a potential downside of 16 per cent.
Sharma is the founder and CEO of One97 Communications Ltd, but is not classified as promoter, according to stock exchange disclosures.
As a non-retiring director, Sharma chairs the company’s board and has the right to a board seat if he holds at least 2.5 per cent stake. He would’ve also not been granted the ESOPs had he been classified as a promoter.
