    I wanted to withdraw funds from paypal and there fore i did pay me via cheque option. I ordered check on 5th march in my account. I suppose it will take 7 days for processing and after that payment will come as a cheque to my home . Its 25th now but still no clue about my ordered cheque?

    Does anyone know how much time does it take to get cheque in india, gujarat state. I called customer care it was totally crap. The guy said it can take upto 45 days for cheques to reach!!

    Yes, it is possible for checks to take up to 45 days to reach you depending on where you are. That is why they promote the withdrawal by bank transfer as it is safer and faster and may be cheaper.

    Yeap. You need to wait at least 45 days for that and after that you can request for stop payment of check (it will cost you $15 for cancellation of check) and they will give you credit back to your paypal account after deduction of that fee in 7-10 days.

    DON.

    From the other post, bank transfer should take about 2 to 5 working days to complete in India.

    Yes, it is as accurate as the information you provide it and as long as you trust the banking system in India, you have nothing to worry about.

    With checks, you need to depend on many intermediaries such as the Singapore and the India Postage Service and would require someone to physically issue and put the check into an envelope and post it. I am not sure India but in Singapore if you issue a Stop Payment on a Check at the bank, they will levy a hefty charge like SG$20 to $40 per check. So the $15 is in line with that. They need to do that because it will prevent someone who encashing both checks by stating that the earlier one has been lost.

    Use bank transfer as and when possible.

    With Bank transfer, everything is electronically done.

    I finally got the cheque on 28th march. That took 23 days. At least they are not that hopeless. I will now do direct bank transfer. Can anyone tell me procedure for that ? Will bank only five me that IFSC no. (Something like that when u withdraw money from paypal via direct bank transfer). Does it have any problem with HDFC bank for bank transfer. Or does HDFC have any problem with that?

    Do we need exact name for transfer. Like 'xyz A. pqr' or is 'xyz pqr' valid. Thanks all for your kind replies.

    There is no any problem with direct bank transfer to your HDFC bank account. You just need to add proper IFSC code of your bank branch at the time of withdrawal. BTW you can find IFSC code easily on your each cheque leaves. Your bank account name and paypal account name must be match with each other for bank transfer.

    DON.
