I have a paytm business merchant account.
I didn't register PAN while creating the account, but aadhar registeration is done.
Some upgrade offer is showing, but I didn't upgrade yet. I use it for rotating credit card money to bank account when needed.

Will those transactions get recorded and counts towards income in AIS in income tax portal?

if Aadhaar-PAN linking is done then is it feasible for IT to fetch the details as I am sure Paytm would report to IT for high value transactions?

Yes, highly possible. Infact PayTM didn't follow compliance by not taking PAN of the merchant. One day or the other IT dept., will come cracking on Paytm and the so called merchants.

Special Thanks to Aadhar-Pan linking implementation

Along with Aadhar-Other Official Documents linking  & Periodic Re-KYC demands from Finance institutions 

All these ensuring to track all forms of online transactions

Should you suppose cash acquired through digital payments/Banking/finance apps won’t catch the eyes of the Earnings Tax Division, you’re incorrect

Just to convey Even Account Opening on Paytm is now part of Earnings Tax Annual Info Assertion (AIS)

The government considers the transactions related to account opening on any digital payments app into income tax purview

So to answer your Question , YES, those transactions will get recorded and counts towards income in AIS in income tax portal
Sooner or later you might gets notice. Also later you will receive a request to update your PAN details on the merchant app after a certain number of transactions (exact criteria still unknown)

Even if in the case assuming that Paytm won't report to IT on one's Merchant transaction on Paytm Merchant app but eventually the Bank where the amount is getting deposited would ultimately report.

High-value transactions involving large amount of money are reported to the Income Tax Department by banks and other financial institutions if the transactions cross a certain threshold & are closely monitored through the concept of a statement of financial transaction (SFT) or a reportable account , submitted by specific entities. These entities are mandated to provide information about particular high-value transactions which they have registered, recorded, or maintained during the fiscal year.

 Additionally In the New Annual Information Statement, there will be 50 transactions to disclose in Annual Information Statement(AIS)
