How To Remove Linked Account From Paytm
Paytm is an acronym for 'Pay Through Mobile'. Here is a step-by-step guide you can follow to link a bank account to Paytm. Moreover, you should have Rs.200 in PayTM wallet to book a ride. After taking your free ride worth Rs.300 using promo code 22i3d, you may feel unsafe with illegal deductions or you may want to use the same PayTM wallet for another Uber account. These two are only possible after you remove PayTM wallet from Uber. Paytm is the most popular and trustworthy service and app for online mobile recharge.As I also have been using Paytm for a long time, faced a little problem. In fact, after my first recharge it saved my debit card information and every time when I go to recharge, it tells me enter only my CVV number for making payment when the whole card information is already saved.

Good News!!
The Supreme Court has ruled that citizens of India do not have to link their aadhar number to a range of services such as bank account, mobile sim, digital wallet (paytm), passport, etc. However, the Supreme Court has said that biometric ID is mandatory for accessing social welfare schemes and subsidies such as, LPG subsidy, Jan Dhan Yojana, etc.
Last year a lot of stress was there for having an Aadhar card and urgently linking the aadhar to avail public and private sector services. That panic state in the country made us link our aadhar with a bank account, sim card, investments (KYC updation) and whatnot.
After all, there so many questions were raised on the basis of the Right to Privacy and Right to avail the basic services which should not be stopped on the question of not having aadhar card number.
There were so many news such as,
