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.

Hello Mikael
After reading you review I decided to join yougov but in India they only pay through cash(western union) so do I need to provide them my any ID proof at the time of withdrawal.
Hi Aman Raj,
Hope you are enjoying YouGov. I am not sure, if you need ID when getting your cash. It depends on Western Union’s rules in India, and how YouGov transfers money through them, and I am not sure about this. I would suggest you to contact YouGov India’s support and check. And feel free to come back here and keep me updated how it goes.
Thanks,
Mikael
Hello,
We would like to register our panel on your website. Our panel is gowebsurveys
Please let us know what are the further steps.
Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know about your survey site. It is always nice to hear about new sites.
I will test the site as soon as I get the time. I have also sent you an email with a few questions about the site.
Thanks,
Mikael
I have registered in August and till now I have not received any survey invitations
Hi Nancy,
I have tried to contact GoWeb Surveys, but no answer from them for months – so that is why the site is also not on my list of the best sites. I would suggest to join other sites instead, as it seems GoWeb does not give many opportunities.
Mikael
Thank you so much Mikeal
You are welcome Nancy.
are there sites which pay directly through bank transfer in india? i mean any gpt,survey or microjob site?
Hi Avinash,
Yes, you can get paid this way on AdSitalSolution. I just recently reviewed it, and that is why it is not on this top list yet. But will put it on here soon.
But you can check out my review of AdSitalSolution here to see more about what it offers.

Sir paypal and payonneer requires purpose code. Which one i should use?
I am not sure Avinash. As far as I am aware, you just need to chose the one that fits the best for the purpose.
I believe there is an option on PayPal to for example choose “market research and public opinion polling service” – I think I would go for that one. But this is just my suggestion. If you have doubts, you can also try to reach out to PayPal and Payoneer’s support and ask them.
You can also check out this article I found about PayPal purpose code in India.

I’m from India
Sir is there anyway to earn 7dollars a day if I invest 4-5 hours on online surveys. Can this process be quick. Is there a way to get paid very quickly
Hi Rahi,
I am not sure you can do it with surveys alone in India, as it depends a lot on how many surveys you qualify for, and that depends on the surveys that are available on any given day. But if you use some of the other earning methods many of the sites offer as well, my guess is you have a good chance. But I cannot guarantee it as mentioned.
In addition to the sites on this list, you can also check out Superpay.me and SurveyRewardz, as they pay out very quickly (already when you have earned $1). You can also check AdSitalSolutions which is a site with good opportunities for India.
On the list above PrizeRebel is one of the sites that pay the fastest (already when you have earned $5 and usually the same day as you request a payout). Toluna should have a good amount of available surveys, but here you just have to be prepared to wait a little longer to get the money.
Hope this helps and let me know, if you have any questions.
Mikael
Rahi I am having the same need and so can you please help me if you get any information.
