WTF is this export related payments and purpose code? Gaypal.

[Evan Foster]

Nobody is exporting any shit out of India then why gaypal is asking purpose code in relation to export related payments?????

Its all freelancing work and on internet.

Seems they want to export some ass cut in pieces to be sent to CEO of gaypal and then declare purpose.

Explanation appreciated.Thanks

A Purpose Code is a code you select on the type of commercial activity for which you are receiving export-related payments. In accordance with the RBI Guidelines, selecting a Purpose Code for your transactions is essential.

India exports a MAJOR amount of products worldwide buddy...and its not just freelancers at the other end of the computer...have a look at IM with a bigger vision.

Ok Good, But what is an Indian computer operator exporting to USA in return of paypal money in his bank?

bugging my head; Sorry

I understand that freelancer is not exporting his body.

This has nothing to do with Paypal. Why are you getting angry with them and insulting them? They clearly state it is to do with RBI (Royal Bank of India) guidelines imposed on them.

I just Googled what you typed in here and the first result gave me step by step instructions to update the purpose code.

Step 1: Log in to your PayPal account.

Step 2: Click on Profile on top of the page.

Step 3: Click on My Money under My Profile.

Step 4: Click on Add next to Purpose Code. Read the instructions and enter your information on subsequent pages.

Its not just "computer" which connects us to International business.Think of a small businessman in India exporting local spices to a UK trader and having the transaction done via Paypal.

Its "Reserve Bank Of India" Nothing is royal in a democratic country

And yes all the guidelines are imposed by RBI on paypal...just because they don't want another 1.4 trillion dollars as a black money...new guidelines are linked with something called "Tax"

You are bound to select the same "Import Export" No other option suites...I've selected the same and having no problems at all...go ahead

I just recommend avoid gaypal they rob your money without any reason I have lost my two month's earning in minuts and now I am empty

 

[Evan Foster]

ok,

So Regarding "tax"

do they(RBI) treat a freelancer as company and ask for more than 30%(Max for individual) tax on all income.They may treat all paypal receivers as company and press them to pay extra cut.

How do you manage taxes on your income. no personal just a question.

 

[Jeevs]

We are a strange country...

Huge and Chilling too And bit more expensive than USA too if m not wrong...

And then what's alternate

alertpay?

do you know they digest big payments some time. Not to mention they charge double/triple transfer fee as compared to gaypal. I think we pay for their wives beauty expenses.

I tried alertpay once and my brand new never used credit card was charged with $9k by alertpay and note was some kind of Viagra shit.

Yes just a bit more expensive like 20% but we have free hospitals.

The maximum will still be 30% because you are not an incorporated business.

But maybe you have to pay 30% on ALL earnings, I am not 100% sure how it is in India. Hopefully someone can also clarify a bit more.

True...sometimes they will leave you without a clue....this is what happens when you don't have anyone to compete you...

Remember the money gets withdrawn to your account automatically??Now lets have some reverse gears...they (RBI) cut a share on every amount withdrawn in your account,you need a bank account for that "linked" with your Paypal account,so whatever you earn is now counted in "National Income"... they ask to attach PAN card also,income less than $1.2k/year is taxfree if my numbers are correct,majority of the people (using paypal) are making more than that..may be they have done some major calculations to calculate the amount of "cut" they are getting as a "Tax"... Again...have a look at it with a bigger vision...foreign exchange,black money and so on!!!

Jeevs

I am satisfied.

Yeah sorry forgot to mention that But the auto Insurance is like $230/month while in USA its like $30?? My numbers are old sorry for that...Overall I think its bit more than 20% 35-40% I would say.... the cold makes it 40% more difficult to live But nice govt. facilities though...govt. or royal queen's?? lol

Hi .. If am not wrong, rendering service is also categorized under Import / Export.

Having that said, for Purpose Code ... there are a list of options to choose from .. you can choose the one that matches your profile .. like writing ... or whatever .. the code is assigned automatically.

Then PAN number .. that you shud know I guess ..

Acc to RBI, they want Indian accts to enter Bank Acct (Indian), CC, PAN and Purpose Code ...

For purpose code, PP never gave helpful info .. however, managed to get around it.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards
