    I assume he is from India. (By looking at the name)
    No you cannot Verify Paypal using any Indian Debit cards because of indian law restricting international usage of debit card.
    Alternatives: try applying for International ICICI credit card or an SBI Credit card. If thats not possible , you may have to stick to buying a VCC like most of the indian paypal users have stuck to.

    It is always better to use a bank-issued credit card to verify your paypal account. You may add a Debit Card as a secondary means of payment.

    The thing is that if Paypal does a routine check or when something raises a red flag, they may ask for a credit card statement and the debit card would not have one.

    I think you can if there is a visa logo on it.
    VCC is the virtual credit card which a virtual product like a domain name.:)

    Debit cards are accept by paypal. But in your case Indian debit cards or not work with paypal. So better go for credit card or Virtual credit card (VCC).

    If you want VCC then check my Signature link

    Well, I am from India and I do posses an international debit card with a visa logo on it. But it does not help in verfying my paypal account. I strongly advise you to open an acccount with ICICI Bank or HDFC Bank and then apply for a credit card.These days you can apply for a credit card very easily. You need to have a valid address ID proof and you salary slip details of the company which you are working in.

    Only get yourself verified by using a Credit card only.

    If you have visa electron debit card of HDFC bank then you can apply for virtual card through online net banking and through that card number you will easily verify yourself at paypal IMO.

    Get a VCI instead. or if you have any family abroad you can ask them to open an account for you.

    You have to verify your paypal account once in a lifetime (till you own that paypal account).

    If you have hdfc bank debit card then ask your hdfc bank person regarding netsafe card. They will guide you briefly regarding same or else go to hdfc bank website and search there for netsafe card.
