Yes, I got the same email from paypal... It did piss me off. Specially about the paying for the services.. I am paying for so many things/services using paypal.

At least with IEC code, you can legally get wire transfer or checks to your account.

That's one of the reason I got offline and started my business there too.

Varun you are right. But the paypal trouble in India seems far from over as you can read in these sites:

That's good news... But All the Indian freelancers should get IEC code regardless of this Paypal issue.

Your most major issues will be with Banks and Income tax department. IEC code, PAN will smooth things a lot.

I think this a big problem for any online user... who try only to buy some thing do some work and payment instantly for that..

@WMF

Not sure about that. You may want to ask paypal customer service regarding it.

Thanks for the reference. I have already withdrawn money to my bank account. But to do that we need to enter Mobile No and PAN number.
