I got my SBI Classic Debit card Yesterday . Also the online banking . Can this card be used for Paypal? Any other tips are also welcome.
 
Indian Bank mastercard debit card works with paypal. My friend uses that. Also some AXIS bank cards work with paypal.

IIRC there is a SBI Yuva debit card that used to work with paypal. Please do some research on that and if it works then get an yuva card on the same account

If that does not help you will need a Credit card. You can get credit card against a fixed deposit of 10k in SBI.

I guess you opened account in Vijayawada itself. If you plan on going for a credit card from SBI then get from Vijayawada Main branch at autonagar. MTM sbi stopped issuing credit cards some time ago.
 
I think SBI International Debit Card works for PayPal, the Silver one ... Although I have not tried it personally, just heard from friend...
 
Your SBI card won't work with paypal as there is a second level of authentication for debits cards - mastercard securecode/verified by visa.

p.s:paypal is crap!
 
Name on Account is exactly opposite of Name on PAN card will there be any issues in Verifying? - Name on account -Pradyumna Challa , PAn - Challa Pradyumna

You need credit card for paypal, can get a credit card from SBI by making a Fixed deposit assuming you are a student otherwise if you are working then you can get a credit with no need of any fixed deposit.
 
Just get a normal savings account from HDFC. You'll get their Netsafe to make unlimited VCCs.

Plus you'll need VCCs to pay your server bill or shop on international websites if you don't have a CC.

@challapradyumna - Paypal might not accept your PAN. Better give a request for Name Change before adding your PAN. Once your PAN is rejected, then its very difficult to get them re-validate it.
 
I am an employee of SBI working in Vijayawada. I have a SBI Gold & Siliver Debit Cards and a SBI Credit Card too. I am presently trying to link my Debit Card to PayPal Account (unsuccessfully!). I have suggested PayPal people to allow linking Debit Cards also for they have to respond yet. The main problem is, SBI doesn't allow third party to make debits to our accunts unlike other banks for security reasons (for this reason, SBI Account is like an iron safe, difficult to open and close!).

For opening an account PayPal verifies our credentials by making a nominal debit which SBI refuses to allow. For this, PayPal can send sms or email to the account holders giving their Indian Account which could be attached as a third party in net banking for further payments also (this is the suggestion I made to PayPal).

For the informatin of all, SBI Credit Card managers are in no way related to State Bank of India. Now a days even petrol bunk payments with CC are charged with commission. Even cancellation of CC after getting it is difficult. The person who evaluates our profile for issuing CC is a petty employee working for commission. SBI deposits irrespective of amount will not ensure a CC from them. It solely depoends on earning capacity with proof (I wanted mine for Rs.30,000/- which they refused and gave it for Rs.90,000/- which I don't intend to use).
