Bonusboy
Cash-out options in India from $5: what is available, fees and timing
Balances on Bonusboy are kept in US dollars in every country, and the payout options differ by country because our provider can only issue some products in some places. Here is exactly what a member in India can choose today.
What you can choose in India
At $5 of withdrawable balance you can choose PayPal only (sent in US dollars; PayPal India converts to rupees and transfers to your linked bank account). Amazon.in, Flipkart, Google Play and other rupee gift cards (75 products) are in our catalogue but cannot be issued to India yet and show as "coming soon". A Virtual Visa and UPI payouts are not available. The app only lets you select products that can actually be issued; anything marked "coming soon" cannot be chosen, and we update this page the week that changes.
| Option | Fee | Currency | How it arrives |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | 5% or $0.25 (higher of the two) | US dollars | Transfer to the PayPal account on your sign-in e-mail |
| Virtual Visa | not available in India |
PayPal in India
PayPal India does not hold a balance: incoming dollars are converted to rupees at PayPal's rate and sent to your bank, usually within a day. You need a PayPal account linked to a bank account and PAN. Your PayPal e-mail must be the same as your Bonusboy sign-in e-mail; this cannot be changed to another address, which protects your balance if someone gets into your account. If your PayPal uses a different address, add your sign-in e-mail to that PayPal account.
Steps
- Open the Wallet tab when your withdrawable balance is $5 or more.
- Pick the product and amount. The fee, if any, is shown before you confirm.
- Enter the 6-digit code we e-mail to your sign-in address.
- Most withdrawals are approved automatically and the code or transfer appears within minutes. Withdrawals above $20 and any with unusual history are checked by a person, usually within 1 to 3 business days.
Daily limit: $50 per account.
Why "withdrawable" takes months
We only pay out what partners have actually paid us. Survey partners pay after month end plus 30 to 90 days, and only once their minimum is reached; game partners after month end plus 30 to 60 days. Rewards show as Confirmed with an expected date (or "waiting for partner" when the partner is below its minimum) until the deposit arrives; for a CPX Research survey completed in September 2026, for example, the expected date is between 16 January and 16 February 2027.
Taxes, in general terms
Income from surveys may be taxable in India depending on your total income. Bonusboy does not deduct TDS or issue any form; keep your own record and ask a professional if in doubt.
