The company bought back shares in the price range of Rs 702.65 to Rs 480.25 apiece, according to a regulatory filing.
"The company bought back an aggregate of 1,55,66,746 equity shares utilising a total amount of Rs 849,83,39,982, which represents 99.98 per cent of the maximum buy-back size. The price at which equity shares were bough back was dependent on the price quoted on the stock exchanges," the company said.
The Paytm board had approved buyback of shares worth Rs 850 crore on December 13, representing 6.67 per cent of the total paid-up share capital between December 21, 2022 to February 13.
During the buyback period, Chinese e-commerce major Alibaba sold its entire direct stake in the company in two tranches.
