The broking services will allow investors to trade in the cash segment, derivatives, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), among other listed entities said the report. Paytm Money got the approval of market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to start stock broking services on 2 April. The company, however, is yet to give a timeline for starting such services, but said its membership with exchanges Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) also got the nod, according to The Economic Times. A report by Financial Express said that Paytm Money crossed over 1 million users mark to become the largest platform for mutual fund investments in India offering commission-free investing in direct mutual funds in a short span of time since its launch. Paytm Money recently introduced Investment Packs – a curated list of mutual funds, based on research conducted by their in-house advisory team, said the report.
