This repository hosts a project that replicates functionalities of PayTM, a popular digital payment platform. The project is built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) and styled with Tailwind CSS for efficient and responsive design.

• User Authentication: Secure login and registration system.
• Payment Gateway: Simulated payment transactions with ease.
• Wallet Management: Add money, view balance, and manage transactions.
• Responsive UI: Optimized for various devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).

• Frontend: React.js with Tailwind CSS.
• Backend: Node.js with Express.js.
• Database: MongoDB for storing user and transaction data.
• State Management: React Context API or Redux (mention if used).
• Others: Additional libraries for routing, form validation, API calls, vite(frontend build tool) and Postman for API testing.
