How to use Google Pay to upload money to Paytm wallet

UPI payment interface has matured a lot since the arrival of Google Pay which has motivated a lot of people to hop on to the UPI platform by way of rewards and ease of use. UPI interface is quick and right now free of charge making it just the ideal platform to do any type of transaction be it peer to peer or peer to a merchant. Apart from these, you can also use Google Pay to do transactions at online shops like Flipkart or to load your Paytm wallet.

Prerequisites - For this tutorial, I am assuming that you already have Google Pay and Paytm configured and working on your mobile phones.
