business-plan, website, advertisingI am an Indian .
I want to start a Blog and Web-based application. I also want to advertise that using Google adsense.
What requirements does Google adsense have in order to pay an Indian publisher.
Such as a bank acount number, address etc…
Also, what is the procedure google uses to pay (specifically for an Indian)
You must first obtain a Google Account, which requires a valid email address (a link that you will require will be sent here).
You can then apply for an AdSense account, for which you will have to provide the following information:
the hostname and language of the website(s) on which you will display Google ads—note that only certain languages are supported (and Hindi is not one of them); and
your contact information, including:
your country (i.e. that in which your bank account is held) and timezone;
your account type (i.e. whether the bank account into which payments will be made is in the name of an individual or a company—both are supported, but once submitted this option cannot be changed without closing the AdSense account and applying for a replacement);
the exact name of the bank account—for Indian accounts, this cannot be changed once the application is submitted;
a valid postal address (a PIN that you will require will be sent here); and
a valid telephone number (a PIN that you will require will be sent here).
Once your application has been approved, the default position is that you will receive payments by cheque (in US Dollars or Indian Rupees) to your postal address. Until earlier this year, this was the only means of payment in India.
Since March of this year, Google has been offering Indian customers a trial of payment by wire transfer (in US Dollars). To set it up, you must provide Google with:
Your bank account number;
The name of the account holder;
Your bank’s SWIFT code;
Your bank’s name; and
Your Indian Financial System Code (IFSC).
With regard to taxation, you must:
either confirm that you do not undertake any US Activities or else obtain & provide US taxpayer details; and
report and pay any Indian taxes that become due on the payments that you receive (unless Google informs you otherwise—see the AdSense terms and conditions for India).
Finally, as noted under Tax Information:
[I]f your local government requires that you send supplementary tax information or a tax invoice, you may send it to the address below. Please be aware that we do not process all forms or invoices.
