Do I need a bank account and PAN to earn from apps in India?
To receive money from paid apps or in-app purchases you need a Google payments profile linked to an Indian bank account, and Google collects your PAN for tax reporting. Free apps with no in-app purchases need no payments profile at all — only the one-time $25 registration. Earnings are paid out monthly once your balance crosses the payout threshold, converted to INR at Google’s exchange rate.
