How to start PayPal account in India

To start a PayPal account in India, visit the PayPal website and click "Sign Up." Choose between a personal or business account, then provide your email address, mobile number, and create a password. Complete the registration by adding your PAN card details and linking a bank account or credit card for verification. Once verified, you can receive international payments, though PayPal charges currency conversion fees and withdrawal fees to transfer funds to your Indian bank account.
