Hi,

I have few funds lying in my paypal account, which I want to withdraw. It is asking for one time Purpose Code. Please suggest what should I fill.

I will be grateful if somebody from India who has already done it before may help.

Thanks.
 
P0805 - for content writing, journalism, blog writing earnings
P0801 or P0802/03 - for affiliates, ad and other commision based earnigns (and most of the freelancer work).
P0902 - website design, outsourced tasks on fiverr type, arts,

This is what my interpretation of the code. You should consult with finance experts who know such stuff or simply search on search engine for Paypal purpose code.
 
I earned few bucks from cpa network and they transferred it to my paypal but there does not seem any appropriate category in Purpose Code.
 
Thanks for your concern.

In Paypal these Codes are not mentioned "P0801 or P0802/03 IMO."

There is a list which reads as under:-

Content & Journalism
- Freelance Journalism
- Other information services
Information Technology
- Hardware Consulting
- Software Consulting
- Data processing consulting
Travel
- Business related travel purchase
Licensing of creative works
- Licensing revenues
Export of Goods
- Cross border shipment
Other Services
- Legal
- Accounting and tax
- Business and management consultancy
- Advertising and marketing ressearch
- R&D
- Architectural Services.

Please suggest.

Thanks.
 
use
P0801 for affiliate earnings

paypal will ask you for pan card as well before withdrawing
 
Pavan what is P0801 from above list.
 
I do CPA and usually use "Advertising and Market Research" and the transfer goes through, without any probs.
Hope that helps :)
 
choose
other services > Advertising and marketing research

anyhow your payments will go through
purpose code is used just for the information provided to RBI
 
lol,do we really need to fill in correct info?
I never did....no probs faced ever,hehe

purpose code hardly matters
but have you tried using fake pan card no. ?
any success with that ?

yea...when Paypal started asking PAN cards to be used in accounts, I googled and entered the PAN number and its still the same.


As per RBI guidelines, PAN comes into play when you process transactions over Rs. 50k in a day in one bank account, so even if you're having a fake PAN in your paypal account but transferring amount less than Rs.50k, you should be fine.
 
Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I have set the code now to

Other services > Advertising and Marketing Research

Best Regards.
