Limitations of Paytm Money
Paytm Money doesn’t provide the option to trade in derivatives i.e. futures and options trading yet.
Contrary to the trading platforms like Zerodha ‘kite’ which has been in the market for a quite
long time, Paytm Money is yet to be tested when it comes to managing large volumes and market volatility.
Other offerings such as Commodity and currency trading is not accessible to customers.
Closing Thoughts of Paytm
By making a foray into the discount broking domain, Paytm has now become one of the most all inclusive wealth management platforms in the nation.
Their wide-ranging existing customer base acts as their top-most leverage as they have access to the market not entered by other platforms.
This can also be witnessed in the app which features a UI that is welcoming and minimalistic, highlighting its approach.
