Payment systems overall dont work in india except Credit Cards. (Talking on a global scale).

dont know the answer to the second part of the question, but it could be a company policy they have to operate in those countries where they are allowed to work according to their business policies.

I have tried to get an account with payoneer myself and the option of India was missing from the list of countries in the sign up form. When I tried to contact them they said it was due to regulations of RBI that they could not operate. Similar with paxum and other such service providers I have heard/read on the net. So its definitely not due to their individual business policies.

My answer was to the  earlier question why btc-e can transfer money but not paxum or payoneer, BTC-e does not have operations  in India, but can do international transfers. any company can do a wire transfer into india. but for companies like paxum or payoneer to be able to take payments from Inidans they need a business to be  setup in India, which would mean they would need to abide by the RBI rules. For e.g. just like ebay can operate in india, abiding by the RBI rules.

The point being : one is not allowed to hold funds in online wallet accounts unless it is permitted by the RBI. When you talk about any "company" being able to wire transfer into India , yes it sure can. But do you think BTC-e will be liable for any wrong doing ? Of course not it will all come down on the individual doing the wire transfer in the first place. There is a reason RBI does not allow people to hold online wallets in services like paxum and payoneer. I'm sure the same principles apply to a btc-e account too, since it is an online account held under your name/pseudonym without any AML/KYC procedures being followed.

That you can prove that these funds are/were legitimate is another story in itself. Of course I do not agree with the RBI guidelines, since its just under the pretext of them not being able to follow the money trail. They should allow such accounts to be held. But then again that's another story in itself.

Again I am open to being corrected. Sorry if this is getting too long.
