Paytm introduces Total Balance Check feature for UPI-linked bank accounts: Here's how to use it
While users had to previously check each account's balance and add up the total manually, this addition by Paytm now gives the user their cumulative balance upfront, in real time. The feature is particularly useful for those who maintain multiple accounts for savings, spending, or salary credit.
The feature is secured with UPI PIN verification, ensuring enhanced security. This is a notable addition for people who have multiple accounts linked for UPI on the app.
📌On the Paytm app, open the 'Balance and History' section.
📌Link the UPI-enabled bank accounts to the app, if not done already.
📌Then, the user can check each account's balance by entering their UPI pin.
📌At the top of the screen, Paytm will now display the user's total balance in all linked accounts.
'With Total Balance View, users who have linked multiple bank accounts for UPI on the Paytm app can effortlessly check both total and individual bank balances. This makes it easier to track expenses, plan spends, manage savings, and make informed financial decisions,' said a Paytm spokesperson.
Along with this, Paytm has also introduced landmark features such as the option to hide specific payments, ensuring additional privacy for the user. The company has also added a home screen widget to receive money quickly, making each user's UPI IDs customisable. They can now hide mobile numbers and even download UPI statements in Excel or PDF formats.
Paytm is also supporting UPI transactions for Indians in select foreign countries, such as UAE, Singapore, France, Mauritius, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.
Founded in 2010, Paytm (operated by One97 Communications Limited) has gone on to become the leading company for payments and financial services distribution in India. It is also considered the pioneer of mobile payments and QR codes.

Delhi man held for ₹2 crore cyber fraud, links with Chinese-linked syndicate
Gurugram: Faridabad police arrested a 39-year-old Delhi resident, who runs a hotel and nightclub in Dubai, for allegedly orchestrating a ₹2.02 crore cyber fraud in collaboration with a Chinese-linked syndicate, officials said on Friday. Faridabad police arrested a 39-year-old Delhi resident, who runs a hotel and nightclub in Dubai, for a ₹ 2.02 crore cyber fraud. (Getty Images) Bhupesh Arora, originally from Karnal and currently residing in northwest Delhi's Rohini Sector 11, operates a four-star hotel and eight nightclubs in Dubai, police said, adding that he was taken into custody on Wednesday upon returning to India and is now on a four-day police remand. According to investigators, Arora and his business partner, also based in Dubai, ran a cyber fraud operation alongside their hospitality ventures. The duo facilitated illegal fund transfers from India to Dubai using payment gateways, later converting the funds into cryptocurrencies and handing them over to Chinese handlers after deducting a commission. Police said Arora was compelled to return to India 20 days back on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana high court. Faridabad police had got a lookout circular issued for him against which he had moved the high court. Though the court had quashed the circular, it had directed him to come to India and cooperate with the Faridabad police by joining the investigation of the case. Yashpal Yadav, Faridabad Police PRO, said investigators traced Arora through a payment gateway account linked to him, into which ₹2.8 lakh of the duped money was transferred. 'This payment gateway helped us identify Arora. The bank account holder couldn't be traced and may have been created fraudulently,' he said. Arora allegedly retained 30% of the proceeds, with the remaining 70% going to his Dubai-based partner, who liaised directly with the Chinese network, Yadav said. Arora is the 12th person arrested in this case. Police are now pursuing his business partner and three others. 'We will issue an LOC against his partner so he can be arrested on arrival in India,' said Yadav. The victim, whose name police have witheld, a 51-year-old man from Sector 88 in Faridabad, was duped in January 2024 after falling for a fake investment scheme promoted through social media ads. Believing he was investing in stock markets, he transferred ₹2.02 crore to 11 different bank accounts. A case was registered at the Cybercrime Police Station (Central), and police have so far recovered ₹60 lakh, which was returned to the victim. The remaining amount, officers said, had already been siphoned abroad.

The Great Indian Salary Crisis
Each month begins with hope and ends with compromise. In Noida, a software engineer watches EMIs pile up while stress-related ailments creep in, until she finally quits her job. In Delhi, a public relations executive juggles rent and groceries, praying her landlord doesn't raise the rent again. In Chennai and Ahmedabad, a techie and a young professional wrestle with ballooning costs after what once felt like promising salary hikes. In Nashik, a 26-year-old anxiously waits for his next job opportunity, even as savings dwindle and replies don't come. And in Pune, rising rents chip away at an IT engineer's paycheck, month after month. These are the everyday struggles of white-collar employees in India. Professionals are caught in a salary spiral where costs keep climbing, pay moves slowly, and financial stability slips further away. On paper, the economy is booming. India is the world's fastest-growing major economy, with steady GDP growth, soaring corporate profits, and a bullish stock market. But the paycheques of working middle-class Indians tell a very different story–one of financial strain, dwindling savings, and rising dependence on debt. For many professionals, salary hikes arrive too late or fall too short to make a difference. Kratika Sharma, a software engineer in Noida in her 30s, knows the feeling all too well. 'My last hike came in August 2024, almost a year late. By the time my salary is credited, I'm already using it to clear dues from the previous month,' she says. Her relocation brought better job prospects but also steeper costs. 'Earlier, I was living at home. Now, between rent, food, and other expenses, I'm barely able to save anything.' Education loans and credit card EMIs are a constant squeeze. 'It's depressing,' she adds. 'I've had stress-related health issues like cervical pain and hormonal imbalances.' Eventually, she quit her job without another offer in hand. 'There was no financial growth. And professionally, the company couldn't retain seniors I could learn from.' Even leaving wasn't easy. 'Companies want candidates who can join in 15 days or less. That makes switching even harder.' Susmita Pakrasi, 34, who works in communications in Delhi, left journalism for better pay, but stability remains elusive. 'I earn more on paper now,' she says, 'but between rent, groceries, my EMI, and healthcare, I feel poorer than I did five years ago.' The stress is as emotional as it is financial. 'Earlier, financial security meant being able to save and occasionally splurge. Now, it means being able to manage basic expenses, pay EMIs, and still have a cushion for emergencies,' she says. 'It's hard to stay motivated when financial anxiety builds in the background." India Inc. continues to reward its shareholders generously, and its top brass are riding a wave of soaring pay. But for employees lower down the ladder, even a modest increment feels increasingly out of reach. Aon's 2024–25 Salary Increase and Turnover Survey, covering over 1,400 companies, projects an average salary hike of 9.2% this year. That's a slight dip from 9.3% in 2024 and well below the post-pandemic high of 10.6% in 2022. The modest rise comes despite healthy profit margins and top-line growth. While attrition has declined from 21.4% in 2022 to 17.7% now, it isn't necessarily a sign of happy workers. If anything, it points to a workforce stuck in place — professionals who want to move up or move out but feel like they can't. That sense of being undervalued runs deep. A survey by job portal foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME) found that nearly half of over 5,000 salaried professionals across different sectors, experience levels, and functions believe they are underpaid. Only 28% say they've seen meaningful salary growth in the last three years. For the rest, any gains were eaten away by inflation. And that erosion goes deeper than official numbers suggest. 'Over the last two decades, inflation has been a weak determinant of pay growth,' says Anandorup Ghose, Partner at Deloitte India. 'Economic performance, organizational profitability, and competitiveness within an industry have been far stronger drivers.' He adds that India faces a persistent mismatch between measured and perceived inflation. 'Felt inflation is usually significantly higher than the officially quoted CPI figures. Companies try to stay ahead of headline inflation, but rarely match the inflation employees actually experience.' Data backs up this stagnation. 'The Economic Survey showed the decline in real wages since 2017–18 for salaried employees,' says Anandorup Ghose, Partner at Deloitte India. 'International Labour Organisation (ILO) data places India in the bottom quartile among 130 countries in terms of real wage growth.' And while headline figures may suggest decent average hikes, the distribution tells another story. 'Not everyone receives the same level of salary increase anymore,' says Sonica Aron, founder of HR consultancy Marching Sheep. 'Individuals in tech or analytics roles get better raises, but others don't.' Recruiters see this firsthand. 'Companies are being more selective. Many now offer performance-linked hikes or skill-based incentives,' says Priyanka Bisht, partner at Tejomaya Ventures LLP. 'But for many roles, especially at the entry and mid-levels, base pay just hasn't grown much.' On top of flat salary bands and mounting expenses, many professionals also feel short-changed by the tax system. 'Even a small change in tax slabs or standard deductions can give middle-income earners real breathing space,' says Bisht. 'From what I've seen in my experience, the middle class is often caught in a tough spot. They are educated, employed, and hardworking, but their income doesn't always match the rising cost of living.' Siddharth Jain, a financial advisor and co-founder of MinEMI, agrees. 'There should be tax relief beyond Rs 7 lakh,' he says, suggesting CPI-linked PF and gratuity adjustments, along with subsidies for housing, childcare, and transport. 'Wage-linked ESOPs or inflation-indexed bonuses could also help sustain purchasing power.' Even those who received pandemic-era salary bumps are now feeling the pinch. Chennai-based tech professional Shafeeque Suhail says, 'After rent, EMIs, and food, I'm barely left with Rs 10,000. Every year, I earn more but save less.' The How India Spends report by Perfios and PwC India finds that salaried Indians now allocate over a third of their income to EMIs. Another 39% goes to essentials, leaving just 29% for everything else. 'A mid-level employee earning Rs 90,000 in 2015 might now earn Rs 1.5 lakh. But essentials like rent, school fees, and insurance have seen 40% plus inflation,' says Jain. That squeeze is showing up in national trends, too. A recent CareEdge Ratings report noted that household savings fell to 18.1% of GDP in FY24, the lowest since FY2017. Gross domestic savings also declined to 30.7% of GDP, down from 32.2% in FY15. Meanwhile, household financial liabilities surged to 6.2%, nearly doubling over the past decade — a clear sign that more Indians are relying on credit to fund basic consumption. For Ahmedabad-based Priyanka Deb Sarkar, rising costs have steadily outpaced her income. 'In five years, my expenses have doubled. I bought a car, shifted to a more expensive rental, and took on a home loan. Marriage also changed the equation. While my income has grown, I've barely been able to save in recent months,' she says. Her credit card dues have risen sharply. 'Paying them back has become difficult. I haven't had to cut back drastically, but the savings have shrunk.' India's economy grew 6.5% in FY25 and is set to retain its position as the fastest-growing major economy in FY26. But the average salaried employee isn't feeling it. Hiring is still happening, but only in niche areas like AI, analytics, and cybersecurity. For everyone else, the job market feels fragmented and unforgiving. 'India's salaried professionals have experienced low single-digit or even stagnant real wage growth over the past decade,' says Dr Vidya Mahambare, Professor of Economics at Great Lakes Institute of Management. 'AI is replacing many skill sets. During high-growth years, skill scarcity created wage premiums. That's no longer the case.' Several sectors are now dominated by a few large firms, marking a shift toward oligopolistic structures. 'And when such firms wield monopsony-type power in the job market, they get an upper hand in salary negotiations,' Mahambare explains. Even though wage growth may appear to outpace inflation on paper, experts warn against drawing comfort from averages. 'The structural wage crisis is evident as voluntary attrition has been hovering in the range of 15–20%,' says Dr Kirti Sharma, Associate Professor – Accounting and Finance at Great Lakes Institute of Management. 'Employees feel their compensation doesn't match their contribution value.' She notes that while some recent budget measures, like raising the basic exemption limit, are welcome, deeper relief is needed. 'More meaningful deductions for healthcare, education, and housing costs are urgently required. The new tax regime, too, can incorporate these.' A 2025 IIM-Ahmedabad survey found that six in ten executives believe AI will significantly displace white-collar roles within five years. That shift is already underway. The ILO estimates that nearly 70% of existing jobs in India are at high risk of disruption due to automation and AI. Meanwhile, a Bank of Baroda research suggests that 20 to 25 million jobs could be displaced by 2030, especially in IT services, customer support, retail, and finance. Globally, tech giants like Google and Microsoft have already begun cutting jobs as they pivot toward AI-led efficiencies. In India, major IT and tech firms are following suit, laying off employees as part of wider cost-cutting efforts. A CareEdge report shows labour cost growth for large IT companies fell sharply, from 26% in Q3FY23 to just 4% in Q3FY25. The message is clear: companies are streamlining in preparation for an AI-heavy future. Suhail feels it firsthand. 'I have the skills. I work hard. But between AI anxiety and rising costs, it's like the ceiling is getting lower every year.' 'While the cost of living affects every household, most companies don't offer salary hikes that beat inflation,' Aron adds. Dr Sharma notes, 'India had 6.1% inflation but 10.2% hikes. But even here, only some employers factored inflation into compensation decisions.' For workers earning Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,00,000 a month, life isn't about aspirations anymore, especially if they are based in tier-1 cities. It's about staying afloat. And this isn't lifestyle inflation. It's survival inflation. 'Five years ago, a 1-BHK near IT parks in Pune cost Rs 12,000 to Rs 15,000. Today, it goes for Rs 20,000,' says Shital Karnani, an IT engineer in Pune. 'I expected more growth after working this hard.' The Home Credit India Wallet Study from 2024 pegs the average income of India's lower-middle class at Rs 33,000. In metros, it hovers near Rs 35,000. In Hyderabad, it touches Rs 44,000, but even that barely covers rent and groceries. Promotions often offer no escape. 'My expenses are three to four times higher than they were five years ago,' says Nandita Talukdar, a former corporate worker turned entrepreneur. 'There was no significant change in savings or liquid cash. Living in Delhi with her partner, even a modest lifestyle feels out of reach. 'Buying a house feels nearly impossible now,' she says. 'Same with cars. You can buy one, but maintenance is super expensive.' She's now debt-averse. 'I once used a credit card, but it became a headache.' Minimal hikes eroded motivation. 'It's one of the biggest reasons attrition is so high,' she says. 'I've recently taken a conscious call to take a break from my job and begin my entrepreneurial journey.' 'Because loans, EMIs, and buy-now-pay-later options are available, many people are managing their expenses,' says Bisht. 'But this hides the real issue that incomes are not growing fast enough.' She believes government and corporate policies must go beyond headline GDP growth and address realities by rewarding skill upgrades, ensuring portable social security, and creating quality jobs outside the metros. 'That feeling of protection improves both morale and spending capacity,' she says. And for some, the ongoing crisis has meant complete stasis. Saurabh Pingalkar, 26, worked with the government's Tele MANAS mental health project at NIMHANS. Since early 2024, he's been jobless. 'You send in your resume, you're asked to wait, and then everything fades into silence,' he says. 'I've had to dip into savings, cancel personal plans.' His biggest fear? 'Reaching a point where I stop believing in myself. The uncertainty is hard, but the fear of being unseen is worse.' 'We are real people, often skilled, motivated, and eager to contribute. If you can't offer a job, at least offer clarity,' he says. Salary stagnation is quietly becoming one of the biggest threats to India's economic momentum. For all the talk of GDP highs and stock market rallies, wage growth for working Indians has barely kept up with inflation. This mismatch isn't sustainable. When salaries stall, so does spending. And when spending slows, the entire consumption engine that drives India's economy starts to sputter. Credit card defaults are rising. Savings are at historic lows. And the psychological toll of working harder without moving forward is quietly reshaping the workforce. If real incomes continue to stagnate, India's much-celebrated demographic dividend could weigh down India's economic ambitions. A salary crisis left unaddressed doesn't just dim household futures and dreams. It puts the brakes on national growth.

Donald Trump's ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act': How tax on remittances are set to impact Indians in US
Several provisions in Donald Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Act' raise taxes on immigrants. That includes a new 1 percent tax on transfers of money to foreign countries like India, known as remittances. Many immigrants in the US send money to relatives in their countries of origin. As per the 'One Big, Beautiful Act', signed by Trump on Friday during a July 4 White House picnic, migrants and others who send money abroad would be taxed at 1 percent of the amount of the transfer. The Act states: 'There is hereby imposed on any remittance transfer a tax equal to 1 per cent of the amount of such transfer… The tax imposed by this section… shall be paid by the sender.' As per the rule, the tax will apply to transfers made via cash, money orders, or cashier's checks. However, transfers made from financial institutions or funded through debit/credit cards issued in the US will be exempt. Those using a 'qualified remittance transfer service' will also be exempt. The remittance tax rate was originally set at 5% but it was reduced to 1% in the final version of the Bill — easing concerns among millions of Non-Resident Indians. The rule applies to US residents who aren't citizens, including Green Card holders, H-1B and H-2A visa holders, and international students. This provision in the 'One Big, Beautiful Act' raises the cost for Indians in the US to send money back home. Remittances have long been a critical source of income for low- and middle-income countries, and have continued to exceed foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and ODA combined. According to the Reserve Bank of India's March Bulletin, 'The share of the US in India's total remittances remained the largest, rising to 27.7 percent in 2023-24 from 23.4 per cent in 2020-21.' Meanwhile, the World Bank said in December 2024 that India received a record $129 billion in remittances, the highest in the world, with 28 per cent of that coming from the US alone. There are nearly 54 lakh overseas Indians in the US, including about 33 lakh Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs), according to Ministry of External Affairs' data.
