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.

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.

Hi Mikael,
Due to my D.O.B error, I’m facing difficulties to log in for Clixsense site. They ask me to upload an image holding an id card along with my face to reset again – would it be right options or is there any other options plz suggest me?
Hi Khim,
If that is what ClixSense suggests to solve the issue, I would do it. I have had to do this on other platforms before as they need to make sure people are real people. But I would of course only do it on platforms I know are trustworthy. And ClixSense is a legit site, so I would not worry. If you want to be a member of it, it seems this is what you have to do to get the D.O.B. corrected.
Mikael
Sir if i can join only 5 sites and spend 1 hour daily which would you recommend?
Thanks.
If you live in India, I would suggest you to start at the top of this list and join the top 5 sites. Just first make sure they offer the type of payout you prefer. If not, then move on to the next on the list.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions.
Mikael
I don’t want to do tasks. I just want to go with survey. Now which site I should prefer?
I would then definitely suggest you to join Toluna, Viewfruit, and OpinionWorld. ClixSense could also be a good option. And then if you want to join more sites that only focus on surveys, YouGov and Triaba could also be good options.
Hope this helps.
Mikael
It was really very helpful. thanks a lot Mikael. Do me one more favour and please write an article on how to start a blog.
You are welcome Aaryan.
I actually already have written an article about that but just on another website that is about internet marketing. You can read the article about creating a blog here if you want to know more about that topic.

Hi Mikael,
First of all thank u for your previous suggestion and quick response. Want to know which Online Cash back site is best for Indians? And what about ‘Ebates’? Will it be suitable for Indians? Please suggest. Thanks.
You are welcome Khim. Glad I could help.
Hope everything worked out with ClixSense?
About cashback sites for India, I am not sure. I have not tested many cashback sites yet unless they are also offering paid surveys and other earning opportunities. But Swagbucks has quite a lot of cashback options, but not sure how many it has in India.
I will be testing more cashback sites in the future but for now, I can unfortunately not come up with more suggestions. About Ebates, then it is not available in India as far as I know. Or you might be able to join, but as far as I am aware it will not offer any opportunities here.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions.
Mikael
Hello Mikael,
yes, now a days we find lots of cashback site mushrooming on the net. But according to sources from online search basically they claim these two Cash back site like TopCashback and Ebate to be legit with more back offer compare to others, and if I join these site without proper research it would be useless and I am from India. Would be very happy to know more from you if you have included research for these cashback site suitable for Indians specially ‘Ebate’. Thanks.
Hi Khim,
I will be doing more research and testing of cashback sites in the future, but right now I cannot tell you much. Ebates is, as far as I am aware, a completely legit option, but as I also mentioned in the previous message, I am pretty sure it is not offering opportunities for India unfortunately.
Sorry that I cannot say more yet, but as mentioned I have not tested the sites you are asking about yet.

Sir I am working in surveyclub,surveyrewardz, yougov do I get payment in it
SurveyRewardz and YouGov are great and I have been paid by both of them several times.
I would, however, not use Survey Club as it is a waste of time in my opinion. You can check out my full review of Survey Club to see why I advise people to stay away from it.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Mikael
Sir i had even joined clicksense prize rebel, In clinksense to get payment we should complete eightfighure task and add clicks both is not able to when i go for task always i get password problem add clicks i dn’t have computer
If you have any technical issues like this, I would suggest you to write directly to ClixSense’s support. They are usually fast at getting back to you.
First of all I want to say a very warm thank you.This is an experience to go through the site in deail that can change the whole thoughts especially for the beginners who really want a passive income from a trusted site in India. It has to be taken into note, lots of guys are making fake & misleading sites & cheating those who really wanted to bank upon them.Most often we heard learning is earning.Once again my best wishes to you & your team for creating such a wonderful site for its own aesthetical value.Regards,
Thank you very much for the feedback. Really appreciate it and glad to hear you like my website and the content here.
Thanks,
