Paypal India Money Withdrawal Methods (Ways to withdraw Money from Paypal India): So after the Paypal India problem, people are confused how to withdraw money from their personal paypal accounts. So, here I have drafted some working methods to withdraw money from paypal.
- Through Paypal India Check: Paypal money can be withdrawn through Paypal Check in Indian Rupees. The check will take some 20-45 days to arrive in Indian cities and it usually comes in Citibank Check in INR
- Through VCC or CC: If you have savings account in HDFC, ICICI etc, then you can use a VCC generated through your account to withdraw money directly from Paypal into your Savings Account (through the VCC). You can also use a CC in the same manner. It takes some 4-5 days to be reflected into your account and paypal charges some $5 for the process.
- Through Xoom: You can use Xoom to transfer money from Paypal to your savings account in Indian Bank. It takes some 1-5 days for the funds to be available in your account. The Xoom fees can be checked from here.
There are some other options and I will be updating this post ASAP. Please let me know if you know of any other method to withdraw money from Paypal to Indian Bank. Thanks.

Paypal Reversal Problem (Paypal India Payment Reversal Problem): Paypal has reversed all “To” and “From” Personal Payments from India very recently. The paypal reversal problem has made many people angry. I have personally sent an email to paypal regarding this problem but I haven’t got a formal reply as of yet. But I have some good information on MoneyLife about the issue and below I have quoted the same for your reference.
According to a reports from techcrunch.com, Anuj Nayar, director for global communications at PayPal had said, “I can confirm that personal payments to and from India have been suspended while we address some questions from our business partners. You can still make commercial payments. We’re trying to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Last year in November, the Indian government had issued a notification (No No.13/2009/F.No.6/8/2009-ES dated 12 November 2009) for prevention of money laundering. Under this notification, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked all banks and financial institutions to maintain proper record of all transactions and verify identity and address of a non-account based customer or a walk-in customer.
Payments to and from PayPal to its account users in India may also involve the foreign exchange maintenance act (FEMA) that has been under a cloud over the black money issue. On Friday, many renowned personalities had filed another petition in the Supreme Court seeking a direction to the Indian government to bring back unaccounted black money to the tune of around Rs65 lakh crore (Rs65 trillion) stashed away in banks abroad.
Although PayPal provides money transfer service to and from India, neither the company nor its account holders pay any tax on the transaction. When Moneylife contacted the RBI to know about the PayPal issue, an official said,”We have no idea why this is happening. PayPal doesn’t come under RBI’s purview.”
The question is then how can the country receive money, in foreign currencies, without any accountability and supervision? Some of the comments on techcrunch.com also say that many Indian account holders ask their payee to make the payment as a ‘gift’ rather than payment for services to avoid PayPal fees. One such comment said: “A lot of business must be transacted in India via PayPal—business done with personal transactions. So a money-hungry Indian government is aggravated at some perceived revenue loss (taxes, customs, etc.) and (has) put pressure on PayPal to stop the payments either directly or indirectly.”

CRR Hike (Cash Reserve Ratio hike by 75bps, Reverse Repo Rate No change – News Updates): RBI has hiked CRR or Cash Reserve Ratio by 75bps while keeping Reverse Repo Rate and Repo Rate with no change.
Here is the Cash Reserve Ratio hike news from TaxGuru:
BI has increased cash reserve ratio by 75 bps to 5.75 Percent , the hike would happen in two stages, the first stage of hike of 50 bps will be effective from February 13 and the next 25 bps from February 27. RBI has not touched the the reverse repo rate which is at 3.25 percent and repo rate which is at 4.75 percent. CRR hike would suck out Rs 36,000 crore liquidity from the system.
This policy is the first major move to mark the reversal of the easy money policy adopted since October 2008. A CRR hike has not come as a shocker for markets as the same has largely been factored into expectations.

Jeevan Nischay new LIC offer,Jeevan Nischay single premium plan from LIC. Jeevan Nischay plan is a new offer from LIC which is a little similar to Jeevan Astha which is also from LIC.
According to this new plan, an investment of 1 lakh would mature into 1.7 lakhs after 10 years. But the exact policy details will be known only when the poliy is launched which is somewhere around March 2010.
The policy will be availaible to only existing policyholders of LIC.The policy covers only the mandatory five times of the premium amount for the first year of insurance. For subsequent years, the sum insured will be equivalent to the premium paid.
Given that LIC’s reputation in India is really high and consumer’s trust LIC a lot, this plan also is likely to be very successful.
