How to set up a paypal account

What is Paypal Account?

PayPal is a digital wallet which allows payments and money transfers through the Internet. PayPal is one of the worlds largest internet payment companies established in 1998. Paypal is an American based company which allows users to pay online, receive online and transfer online, for which it charges a fee. In India, we can only receive money through paypal. If you want to pay using paypal, you need to link an international credit card. 

Online payment sites cannot pay money directly to your Indian bank account. So Paypal acts as an intermediate between payer and our receiving bank. As per RBI regulation, whenever payment is received to a paypal account in India, it will be transferred automatically to your linked bank account within 7 days.
