Can I receive money from abroad through PayPal

Yes, you can receive money from abroad through PayPal in India. PayPal allows Indian users to accept international payments and withdraw funds to a linked Indian bank account, though the service charges a currency conversion markup and transaction fees that can add up quickly. Transfer times typically range from 3 to 7 business days once you initiate a withdrawal.

For a more cost-effective alternative, many exporters and freelancers now use Skydo, an RBI-authorised cross-border payments platform built specifically for receiving international payments in India. Skydo offers faster processing, transparent pricing, and typically lower costs than PayPal, making it especially suitable for businesses and professionals who receive regular payments from overseas clients. The platform streamlines compliance and provides dedicated support for Indian users navigating cross-border transactions.
