No it won't. Debit cards of only few International banks like ICICI or HDFC, etc. work with PP. And that too International debit cards.

 

Thanks for the info, but international debit cards are expensive isn"t it?..

 

Yes they are. Like if a normal one costs Rs.100, the International debti card would cost Rs.500.

 

Yeah, but what is the minimum balance required to get that international debit card?..

 

ICICI & HDFC Rs.10000 FD(Fixed Deposit) for International debit card

If you need CREDIT card simply make Rs.20000 FD

 

No, there is no need of any FD for debit cards.
You get a Debit card with your normal savings accounts. For Urban areas you need to open a saving account with Rs.10,000 while for semi-urban its Rs.5000.

 

I think techlead is saying about International Debit cards..

 

And I have given details about same too. There is not much difference in normal and International debit card.
One needs FD in case of credit cards only.

 

Here is the type of Debit cards provided by ICICI...http://www.icicibank.com/Personal-Banking/cards/Consumer-Cards/Debit-Card/types-of-card.html , which one is best for paypal?...

 

Can't say which one would work. It depends upon luck.

Its better you open a HDFC bank account, that way you can use HDFC debit to create virtual credit cards and it can be used to pay anyone who uses paypal or on any website.

 

Do you know the exact name of the international DEBIT CARD from HDFC that works with paypal? Have you used it successfully?

 

I don't use any debit card with PayPal. But the International Gold Debit Card is the one I use for creating Virtual cards. And they work well without any problem on any website where CC or PP is accepted.

 

Does HDFC bank normal debit card can be used to create virtual credit cards that will work with paypal??..or are saying about HDFC international Debitcard??..

 

I am talking about International debit card as PayPal is not Indian. So, its better to get a International and avail all features. You also get some life insurance with it for free.

 

Thanks, getting a life insurance for free is great..I will start an account with HDFC bank..I think this will do it http://www.hdfcbank.com/personal/product/productdetails/easyshop-international-debit-card/gts8miqv Easy shop international Debit card requires a savings account.., what you think?..Does this Debit card works??.

 

I downloaded the account opening form for Easyshop international Debit card, there are two categories available,

Regular Debit Card

Annual fee Rs. 100 p.a. (plus taxes)
Renewal fee Rs. 100 p.a. (plus taxes)
Annual fee for add-on Card Rs. 100 p.a. (plus taxes) - One add-on Card free for the first year

Gold Debit Card

Annual fee Rs. 500 p.a. (plus taxes)
Renewal fee Rs. 500 p.a. (plus taxes)
Annual fee for add-on Card Rs. 500 p.a. (plus taxes)

Which one i need to apply for??....

You should apply for Gold Debit Card. I am using it from last 3 years without any problem.

 

Thank you very much for your Reply..i will apply for a gold debit card and link it with my paypal..

 

I haven't said anywhere that you can link it(Debit card). But there is chance that it would work. Rest depends upon your luck.

But still, you can make virtual credit cards and make all payments directly without using PP.
