I don't know why Paytm randomly started asking for sim verification before using wallet balance.
I have added money to wallet associated with my secondary sim which doesn't have sms or any active pack. Since i cant send sms that amount is stuck in the wallet. Is there any solution for this?
If amount struck is greater than recharge amount
Simpleee recharge that account and use that balance.
Next time use paytm upi lite (perfect replacement for wallet)

Not a perfect replacement for wallet.
When UPI network goes down (although rarely, but happens), PayTM Wallet balance can be used to make payments on PayTM QR

Reading bw lines again
UPI LITE” means the service provided to you by your Issuing Bank whereby low value transactions can be carried out using an ‘on-device’ wallet; and is a Feature enabled……..
So if there is paytm qr then no prob atall same can be done with upi lite even when upi network is down.
Its upto u to use it or not.
But if needed alternatives/workarounds for problem mentioned by OP then UPI lite is good.
Been using paytm upi lite for past few days and it is good. (Zero errors/failures during transactions)
To add up further like u mentioned what if upi server is down
I would quote “what if paytm server is down”
If u look for flaws u get many instead see the positives and go ahead
Another tip if your sim cards are without outgoing sms facility: Never take out the sim and try to pay by upi or check balance. This will trigger the sim verification process again.
If at least IC SMS is available you can try clearing app data and logging in again. I had tried this a few times in the past few months (other than the last couple) and surprisingly re-verification wasn't required until the next time.
What happens if we try to update Mobile no. to another which already has a paytm account?
I have KYC Paytm account with X mobile no ( old number), but my Main number is Y. In primary mobile while trying to use Paytm (lined to X) but phone carries Y mobile no , it sometimes asks for Re-verification using SMS which means headache to putting back old SIM into the phone

I tried logging out and logging in, it did that with otp but while using wallet balance it again asks for sim verification

What I meant to say is PayTM Wallet can be used as backup when UPI network goes down.
Possibility of both being down at the same time is rare though.
