THERE ARE 2 WAYS OF DOING IT...\n\n1. IF YOUR BANK IS AN ONLINE BANK SO YOU CAN ASK FOR YOUR LOGIN AND PASSWORD AND FROM THERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER YOUR MONEY TO OTHER ACCOUNT. THIS IS THE FASTEST WAY OF MONEY TRANSFER AS THE MONEY IS TRANSFERRED IN SECONDS\n\n2. WHEN YOU GO TO THE BANK JUST ASK THEM THAT YOU WISH TO TRANSFER MONEY FROM YOUR ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER, THEY WILL GIVE YOU A "FUNDS TRANSFER RECIEPT" YOU FILL THAT UP AND IN THIS WAY IT TAKES 3 DAYZ FOR THE MONEY TRANSFER.

Postal orders are the best way if you want the money asap. Cheques are ok if you want the money to go into your bank account and don't mind waiting a few days. I know what you mean when it's comes to paypal especially when selling something on ebay. You get charged by ebay for listing the item then you get charged again by ebay at the end of the month and then paypal charge you for using their services and then they charge you again if you transfer funds into a bank account. You don't seem to really gain anything using ebay or paypal.\n\nPostal Orders are the best bet. Just take them the post office and they will cash them for you.

I can give you a link that deals with Payapl .PayPal is one of the most popular online money transfer systems widely used for online auctions, pay to surf programs, e-books and purchase of  low value goods. It is now a part of the online auction website eBay. More details available at\n http://www.money-transfer.in/paypalindia.html

I was in Europe not too long ago and by far, the cheapest way to go is use the ATM once you get there. You still pay the "foreign ATM fee" you would pay just like going to an ATM that is not a part of your bank at home (probably around $4.00) which is less than the usual transaction fee to exchange currency, and the best/most favorable exchange rates. This is partially because the bank does not have to keep a supply of the other country's currency.

There may be other ways, but I would go to a bank in your area (preferably a large bank with lots of offices around the state or your region).  Most large banks have ares which handle foreign excange and international transactions on a daily basis.

If it's a big sum (i.e. Rs. one lakh) wire it from US to India.\nI was able to wire directly to an ICICI account from Citibank Belgium so I guess other international banks may work too.\nFor small sums I think it's better to take it in cash.\nHowever since you said 'online' I think you mean through online banking.In that case it depends what online facilities your bank offers.If you are in the USA physically and you can't do it over the net then go to your bank and ask to wire it to your Indian A/C (again, providing it's a reasonably big sum)

Often for international transactions, services like PayPal are the way to go. because PayPal can instantly convert your money on the fly from the US dollar ($), to the British Pound (£), Japanese Yen (¥), or Euro (€)

The best way would be by using Pay Pal.  Read about it here http://www.paypal.com/

you can recieve money but not take it out over a limit(£500 i think) until your account has been fully veriefied. you'll have to complete four steps to do it but it's all dead easy. look on the help pages of paypal they tell you all you need to know and how to do it.

I think the best way is inter-bank funds transfer.

First you need to set up an account.  To do this you go to Ebay and register your email. Then you need to set up a PayPal account.  Once this is done you wait a couple of days for PayPal to deposit some money into your acount.  There will be two small amounts that you have to enter in to complete this process.  Once this is done then you can just login to Ebay and bid on any item you choose.  You have to make sure that whatever you buy can be shipped to India, because many of the items are only shipped to the USA.  Good luck and I hope this was clear.

Wire transfer.  Your US bank should be able to give you the information (routing number, your account number).  You provide this to your bank in India and they should be able to take it from there.

Paypal should give you a debit card that you can use with the funds from the account.  I don't remember the fees, but I don't think you want to just send money to a bank account from Paypal.  You could send the money to your connected bank account and wire it from there.
