Alphabet Inc’s Google restored Paytm, the dominant financial services app run by India’s most valuable startup, to its Play Store after suspending it for a day for violating gambling policies.

Paytm’s founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma tweeted late on Sept 18 that the app had been reinstated. The homegrown payments company, which provides an array of financial services and competes with Google Pay, had been running a "Scratch and Win” promotion for all payments made via its app when it was removed for violating Googe’s policies against online betting.
