I have been trying to link my Visa debit card to my PayPal account (in India) since the last 30 days to no avail. I have used three cards and from two different banks and still receive the following error: "We couldn't confirm that you're the owner of this card." The error appears after I enter the OTP that I received on my mobile phone. The name and address on the card and PayPal is exactly the same, so that's not an issue. I called one of my banks and they said that this is because of RBI's new restrictions on recurring payments and that they do not support linking debit/credit cards to PayPal because of this. I wanted to know if anyone else in India is facing similar issues and is it true that PayPal has been restricted in India to only receiving payments but not sending. PS: This is only the case when linking a new card. Existing card in Paypal is able to send money.
