If you want to make some extra money online for free in India, then paid survey sites and GPT (Get-Paid-To) sites are the fastest and easiest way.
However, if you do not join the right sites, you can end up wasting a lot of time.
So, what are the best online survey sites to join when you live in India?
In this article, you will learn about the best paid survey sites for India in 2026 and learn what each of them offers, so you can easily see which ones are worth joining for you.
If you are not from India, you can instead check out my list of the best sites for other countries.
Before we get to the top sites, let's first look into some things that are important to know to get the most success with paid surveys and GPT sites in India and earn the most.

How are the opportunities for paid surveys in India?
Let me reveal right away that India is not the country with the most opportunities when it comes to online survey sites. But that does not mean that there are no good opportunities because there definitely are some great and high-paying survey sites to join in India.
There are A LOT of sites you can join, but that you can join a site does not necessarily mean it has good options for India or good options in general.
Some sites might be great in one country, but do not have many offers for other countries. That is just how it is, and no matter where in the world you live, you have to find the best sites specifically for your country.
When you find legit and genuine sites that actually pay and have a good amount of opportunities, it can be a very nice way to make some extra cash.
Just be aware that no matter where in the world you live, paid surveys are not a way to become rich. If any survey site is promising you this, it is most likely a scam site you should stay away from.
So, if you are looking for online survey jobs in India that can help you make a living and become rich, you will not find them.
But when joining the good sites, it can make you some really nice extra money, and it is something anybody can participate in – and the legit survey sites are always free to register for.
Later, I will show you the best legit sites for India, and there, luckily, are quite a lot of genuine and good sites here.
What ways can you make money on survey sites?
Obviously, you can make money by taking online surveys and sharing your opinion on survey sites, but there are also often several other ways you can make money, which some people, unfortunately, sometimes overlook and potentially miss out on some great opportunities.
The sites with other options are often called GPT (Get-Paid-To) sites, as you can get paid for a number of things.
This can, for example, be earned by playing games, clicking ads, watching videos, participating in free contests, solving CAPTCHA, downloading apps, and more.
For India, this is very interesting as there might be some sites that do not have a lot of surveys for you, but where the other options are good. So it is a good idea to not only go for the surveys but also some of the other options. It can, for example, be to watch videos, click ads, take online offers, download apps, play games, etc.
To increase your chances of earning, it is a good idea to join several sites. Around 6-8 sites is a good amount if you are not used to doing online paid surveys.
Once you get familiar with those platforms, you can join more, but if you join them all from the start, it can be overwhelming and difficult to give each platform the time it needs for you to take full advantage of them.
33 best survey sites in India
The list below is not a complete list of all the survey sites that are available in India, as not all sites will actually have good opportunities, and not all sites are legit.
Below is a list of genuine online paid surveys in India, and it only has the top sites on it that actually will pay you. They are, of course, all free to join and use.
The list will regularly be updated, so make sure to bookmark this page and check it for new opportunities once in a while.
Mikael; You have said a lot about taking Survey and it is a fact that one’s geographical location has a lot to do with taking survey.
Among the companies that you can recommend to the public does any one of them give to any one person enough survey for the month that one can make a living from?
I have tried Click Sense but unfortunately they do not give surveys to people in my country
Do keep up your good work educating others on surveys opportunity
DorcasW
Thanks for your comment DorcasW. Sorry to hear ClixSense does not have surveys in your country. Be aware, as I write, that it also have other options in case surveys are not available.
In general no matter where you live and how good survey sites you join, you will not be able to make a living from it. It can give some good extra money on the side, but it will not make you rich. If a site promises it can make you rich on surveys, you should stay away from it – usually the only sites that claim this are scam sites that try to get money from you instead of helping you to make money.
All the best,
Mikael
Hello sir,
I recently joined future point want to know weather it is legit .thank u
Hi Khim,
Do you mean FeaturePoints? If that is the platform, I am actually just testing it myself at the moment and will soon post a review about it. But in short – then yes, it is legit as far as I can tell from what I have tested so far.
Mikael
Nice article Mike. I have a question, which sites I should join if I want payout quickly?
Thanks.
Glad to hear you liked the article Avinash.
The sites on the list where you the fastest will be able to reach the payout threshold and get your earnings out are Toluna, Viewfruit, Surveytime, ClixSense, OpinionWorld, PrizeRebel, and Rewards1.
But there are quite a lot of sites on the list with a low payout threshold. You can see the threshold for each site on the list above and also use this to find the right sites for you.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions.
Mikael

You are welcome Khim. Glad I could help.
If you have made any kind of mistake when you signed up for ClixSense, I would suggest you to contact their support. They are usually very helpful and give a fast answer.
Let me know how it goes.

This is really cool. I am a full-time college student and it is a struggle, especially with money. Books and classes just drains my check as soon as I get it. So I am just searching the internet where I can find some ways to make a passive income. I have heard and seen the commercials about these paid surveys but never actually looked into it. I am surely interested, which one do you like best? Great article, exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the feedback Garrett. Glad you like the info.
If you live in India, the sites on the list above are the ones I have found out should give the best opportunities. You can also check my list of the best survey sites for college students that will give a few other suggestions. The reason that the lists are a bit different are that which ones offer the best opportunities depends a lot on where you live and your general profil.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.
All the best,
Mikael
Hello Mikael,
I found your site very useful. You provide enough details about survey sites.
One day I read your article about ClixSense and I joined it and I found it very grateful. Within one hour after joining I earned $2 and there are really a great amount of surveys available per day – approximately 30 to 40 surveys excluding the surveys that are provided by their third parties.
But one day when I was checking my profile, I found my Date of birth was wrong and some other information, so unfortunately I have to leave the site because they are not providing second chance to correct it. So I want to know are there any other sites just like clixsense. Please let me know.
Thank you
Hi Aman,
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear you find my website useful.
As for correcting your info on ClixSense, have you tried to contact their support? I have had to correct some info that I did not have access to correcting, and when I contacted them, they helped me very quickly. So if you have not already done it, I would advise you to contact ClixSense’s support and explain the situation for them.
Other than that, there are some other great sites on this list you can join – with what you are asking for, I would especially suggest you to join Toluna and PrizeRebel. And also potentially Triaba and YouGov, even though they give fewer options. Timebucks gives a lot of daily opportunities – many of them do not pay so well, but you can always find a way to earn there, so it might also be worth trying out for you.
Hope this helps, and let me know, if you have any other questions.
All the best,
Mikael
Thank you so much for including Toluna in your Top Survey Sites list! We appreciate this shout out and we’re so happy you love our site.
Thanks for leaving a comment. Great site you have.
All the best,
Mikael

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions.
All the best,
Mikael
Sir for a house wife is there any site to get monthly income i am working since 3 months in clicksense ,prizerebel but no use, always getting survey not available
Hi Shubha,
On all survey sites it will sometimes happen you do not qualify. If the ones you have tried so far do not give good options for you, I would suggest you to join some of the other sites available. The list above shows the best options for India and it is regularly updated.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have other questions.
Mikael
Mikael can you suggest best PTC/BTC Sites for India.
Hi Kavita,
I in general do not like PTC sites too much, so I have not tested a lot of them. Maybe something I will start testing more later. But I know one of the popular PTC sites, where you can also take surveys is Neobux. Maybe that one will be good for you.
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Mikael
