The group summary shows the total amount spent, each person`s share, pending balances, amounts to pay or receive and recent activity. Payment reminders can be sent directly from the Paytm app, while dues can be settled through Paytm UPI with the amount and recipient details already filled in. Paytm Split Bills offers unlimited expense entries at no cost, without entry limits, paid upgrades or additional charges. Expenses paid through Paytm UPI, other payment apps, cash, cards or any other method can be recorded in the same group, keeping the complete shared expense history together. Payments settled separately can also be marked as received.
