Google AdSense, one of the most popular monetization techniques used by bloggers, is always confusing for new users. Despite its easy-to-use dashboard and its help pages, there are always questions related to sign up, account approval, account ban, optimization and many others.
It is true that AdSense is a plug-and-play advertising network, but it is important that you  learn all you can about it so that you can take full advantage of the opportunity it presents, making a lot of money as opposed to pennies.
This is a question from Adithya:
“Can you tell me how AdSense Pays in India? Do they pay by cheque or through local bank transfer or EFT”?
AdSense Payment in India:
AdSense has different payment options for different countries. They support EFT transfer, Cheque facility and pay by Western Union Quick Cash. Especially in countries like India and Pakistan, getting an AdSense account is not as easy as it is in countries like the U.S., U.K. and Australia. This is mostly due to issues of spam and fake AdSense accounts in India.
In India, at the time of the writing of this post (June 2014), AdSense offers payment via Cheque and EFT, and they convert your earnings into INR and then make the payment. Usually, the AdSense USD to INR conversion rate is high, so you might not find this to be an issue. However, an AdSense cheque takes time to reach India (10-15 days), and it takes another few days for clearance.
The AdSense team is increasing payment options in many countries, and they have already added EFT payment for Indian publishers.
You can follow this guide to configuring electronic fund transfers for your Adsense account.
If you are a new AdSense user, here are few things which you should keep in mind:
- While signing up, make sure all details are accurate (name, address, etc.)
- Your name should be the same as  the name on your bank account. The name on your AdSense cheque will be the same as your account name.
- AdSense will send a PIN number to you at the address you used when signing up. This works as an address verification too, prior to making a payment.
- With AdSense EFT payment, you can receive payment to another payee name as well.
- AdSense will soon add telephone support for all AdSense publishers. This system is already in beta testing at the time of the writing of this post, (June, 2014).
- You can also refer to the official guide to read more about AdSense payment policies.
- You can update your payment preference until the 20th of a given month.
- You can also put a minimum payment threshold for your payment, and it should be greater than $100.
You can read an excerpt from the official AdSense India payment page below:
AdSense publishers in India will receive standard delivery checks mailed via the local courier service Blue Dart for no additional charge. Checks mailed by Blue Dart should arrive within 10-30 days of the check date. Blue Dart is not able to service all areas throughout India. If you live in a location, they don’t service, your check will be sent by Registered Post and should reach you within 2-3 weeks of the mailing date.
If the cheque is already issued, you can use Bluedart tracking to keep an eye on your cheque status. If you have not received your AdSense cheque within 60 days of the issue, you can use this form to request a re-issue of the cheque.

hi…
constantly reading about needing an ICICI bank account for adsense money transfers..wont other bank accounts work ? i have accounts in Standard Chartered, HDFC, HSBC.
other bank accounts also work. you can have an account with any bank.
hello, friends. I have only SBI account. can I connect it to Google Adsense for wire transfer?
According to so many suggestions, it is recommended to have an account in ICICI. Initially, i cant able to buy hosting in Bluehost because of SBI account.
I don’t have a credit card. I tried Paypal also using my SBI account but didn’t work. I can’t able to buy hosting. since Bluehost allows only credit card and PayPal options.
now, what should I do?
Can anyone suggest me, please?
hello, I got a mail today that google has sent my payments to the bank account that i mentioned. So they told me to wait for 5 business days for me to get my payment. I want to know, any bank account is capable to receive international payment? As i have no idea about how a particular Indian bank works. will I get my money directly transferred or not?
hey praneeta,
yes, any indian account would work.
No, not all your bank account wouldn’t work, You first have to go to all your banks and ask them if they convert the currency ornot, many banks don’t have their own SWIFT code which they give of an intermediatery bank. So I request you to kindly go thorugh all your banks.
Hello.
I have setup wire transfer payment method and i have not verified my address. Do i have to verify address before receiving payments or they will keep my payments in hold.
Yes you will have to verify your addresses before receiving any cheque or wire fund transfer. Because by verifying your address you confirms that you are a real person and not a robot.
You do not need address for online transfer. But u do need the address where Google can send you the PIN. I didnt get my PIN for a long time so I requested for a new one.I got it in a month’s time.

Hey there is a issue for me
My balance is well over $200, I entered my bank information and added payment method and I don’t have any holds.Still, I don’t see the notification where I’m being asked to verify my address with the PIN that I should normally receive.
When will I see that notification or i will directly get paid without address verification?

But I can’t change payee name in India.
Hey Rajan,
Try this: Login to your Google Adsense Account. Go Settings gear icon >> Click on Payments >> Payee profile. and edit profile.
Hello Harsh,
I have changed my payee name as per my bank account name.
But in the link that you have shared it has been written that in India you can’t change payee name.
will i face any further problem with adsense while payment?
Please Guide me.
Hey Rajan,
They have changed that policy. Anyways, if you could edit the payee information, it means there is no problem. There should not be any problem.
Sir,
Is payee name should be same as bank account name??
In my case Payee name(in adsense) is Rajneesh Chaubey but bank account name is Rajneesh Mithilesh Chaubey.
Should they pay if i only write Rajneesh Chaubey? or I have to mention full name while fill up the form.
What to do?
Please Guide me.
Hey Rajneesh,
Yes, you name should be same on the bank and adsense account.If you have already made an account and applied, you can still change your payee name.https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/160202?hl=en
