- International only: PayPal in India supports cross-border transactions only.
- No domestic payments: Money cannot be sent to or received from another PayPal user within India.
- Receiving from abroad: Freelancers and businesses can accept payments from overseas clients after verifying their PAN, linking an Indian bank account and adding a purpose code.
International payments with PayPal carry costs beyond the amount sent.

- Exchange rate markup: When converting currencies, PayPal adds a percentage markup on top of the base mid-market exchange rate.
