India's financial crime fighting agency has started a preliminary inquiry against Paytm Payments Bank, local broadcaster CNBC-TV18 reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

That comes two weeks after the country's central bank ordered Paytm's banking affiliate to wind down.

Paytm and the Enforcement Directorate did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. (Reporting by Hritam Mukherjee in Bengaluru; Editing by Savio D'Souza)
