Why PayPal is not working in India

PayPal continues to work in India for sending payments internationally, but it no longer supports receiving commercial payments for Indian users. The Reserve Bank of India declined to renew PayPal's payment aggregator license in 2021, forcing the platform to discontinue domestic merchant services and inbound international payments to Indian accounts. This has made PayPal unusable for Indian freelancers and exporters who need to collect money from overseas clients.

Indian businesses now rely on RBI-authorised alternatives like Skydo, which is purpose-built for cross-border payments and offers faster transfers, lower fees, and full regulatory compliance. You can review the PayPal overview to understand how other platforms compare in terms of speed, cost, and features for receiving international payments in India.
