Its not just the black money, its consumer protection that the Government is keen on.
India Government just wants Paypal to behave like a bank if they are going to hold consumer;s money. If Paypal follows the regulation, they will end up paying interest on the money they hold. And they will forced to insure the amount.
And paypal works around this issue by pushing the money to consumers bank when it reaches the legal limit.
You can't blame the Government for this mess. Its Paypal that is working around the system.
- phdp 13y agoPaypal is not working around the system: they are simply not a bank. They are a payment processor. Just think about what would happen to the fees that he already complains about if they had to insure the deposits.

Just like any other payment processors operating in the country, Paypal can also keep the money with them for just enough duration that is required to process the payment. After that they need to TRANSFER the amount and not hold it with them. If the India Govt relaxes it for Paypal, multitude of such payment processors would start operating and one day you would see them disappear with people's money. Then again you will blame the Govt.
