Let G be an abelian group of order v , where v = p 1 2 k 1p 2 2 k 2⋯ p n 2 k n, n ≥ 2 , p 1 , p 2 , … , p n are distinct odd prime numbers. In this paper, we prove that if G contains a regular Paley‐type partial difference set (PDS), then for any 1 ≤ i ≤ n , p i is congruent to 3 modulo 4 whenever k i is odd. These new necessary conditions further limit the specific order of an abelian group G in which there can exist a Paley‐type PDS. Our result is similar to a result on abelian Hadamard (Menon) difference sets proved by Ray‐Chaudhuri and Xiang in 1997.
