Wire Transfer Payments for AdSense publishers in India


According to the payment address provided by Google AdSensepublishers, there are four payment options available for their AdSense earnings and these payment methods are i) Checks, ii) Electronic Funds Transfer, iii) Western Union Quick Cash and iv) Rapida. However, to select a form of payment, your earnings must have reached the payment method selection threshold.

Till now, only Cheque (issued by Citibank) payment method was available to those publishers who receive payments at a payment address in India. The checks were mailed via the local courier service Blue Dart which takes 15-20 days to delivers cheque from the date of issue of payments.

Therefore, Indian AdSense publishers were eagerly waiting for the new payments system for their AdSense earnings and get rid of cheque payment system which takes several weeks to get clear and paid. But, now AdSense publishers in India will get their AdSense earnings directly into their bank account. This is because the Google AdSense Team has announced officially to replace cheque payments with U.S. Dollar international wire transfers.

In other words, Google India finally added the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payment option for Indian AdSense Publishers so that they don’t have to wait for 3 to 5 weeks for their AdSense earnings Citibank cheques to reach and further wait for a week to get that cheque cleared.

Thus, Indian AdSense Publishers may opt-in to receive their AdSense earnings directly into their bank account automatically, within 2-3 business days. Note that the wire transfer option is available as an invitation mode for Indian publishers and they can choose this method for the upcoming August, 2014 scheduled payment. Thereafter, for any month you may go for new payment system and receive all your AdSense earnings directly into bank account just within 24 hours.

However, to be eligible for April 2016 EFT payment cycle, you must have to apply a “self-hold” to your payments settings prior toSaturday, 16 April, 2016 06:00 A.M. IST.

The normal payment date in new system starts at approximately midnight (IST) on the 22nd of each month and transactions usually clear in 3-4 business days.

That means after successful upgrading your AdSense account for EFT payment system, Google will send your AdSense earnings on 22nd of each month provided your earnings reached threshold limit of $100. See the screenshot for proof of my AdSense earnings payment issued date.
