How to receive money through PayPal in India

To receive money through PayPal in India, you need to create a PayPal Business account and link it to your Indian bank account. Once set up, your international clients can send payments to your PayPal email address. The funds typically arrive in your PayPal wallet within minutes, though withdrawing to your Indian bank account can take 3 to 7 business days. PayPal charges a receiving fee of around 4.4% plus a fixed fee per transaction, and currency conversion costs can add another 3% to 4%.
