Looks as if you have opened a U.S paypal account instead of one registered in India?
When you click to register a paypal account there is a drop down list of countries with U.S being the default top option as Paypal is a U.S company.
You have to click on the drop down box and scroll down to select your own country to register your account.
If you have opened a U.S paypal account by mistake then you need to remove anything you have added and close it (if you can) and then open one for the correct country you are in.
This is because Paypal is country specific and differs a lot country to country.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
