Adsense Payments Facts

AdSense Payment in India



Have You Put a HOLD on Payments ?

If your AdSense income has crossed $100 and you havent placed a hold,
you might get your cheque soon. There are people  who place a hold on their payments so that their earnings get accumulated and they get a bigger cheque. Thats rather foolish because if your account gets disabled, your total earnings might be forfeited. So NEVER place a hold on your Adsense payment.Many publishers take months to earn $100 and placing a hold would be too demoralizing for them.


Is your PIN verification complete ?

Google verifies the address of an Adsense account owner with a PIN mail. After your earnings cross $50
Google sends a sealed envelope containing a secret PIN number. You have to enter the PIN in your
account online to complete your PIN verification. If you don’t get your envelope within 45 days of the sent date, you can apply again. You get three tries to get this verification done and if all three tries fail, you have
to contact AdSense support.


Which currency to choose for AdSense Payment?

Although choosing to get paid in US Dollars sounds too sexy over getting paid in Indian Rupees, your best
friend is the INR. Getting paid in USD means more time to get the cheque cleared (45 days). compare that with 10 working days for an INR cheque. Also a USD cheque would cost more to clear (upto .50% of total amount)



What’s PIP and PI?

When your Adsense account earnings reach $100 you see a 'Payment in Progress' in your account.
This means you are about to get paid. PIP means your cheque has not been issued till yet but it is about
to be issued soon. There is no way to find out when it will be issued and the only way you can find out is
to keep in touch with other people who are expecting to get paid in the SAME COUNTRY. This means all
AdSense accounts in a Country will get paid the same day and will see the PI (Payment Issued) on the same day.

You will see a Payment Issued link appear in your AdSense account the day your cheque has been issued
by the issuing authority. A click on your PI link will tell you the Payment number, Final amount paid, currency of payment, Cheque no etc

For Indian Adsense accounts, a Blue dart link will appear only after three weeks of PI date which will tell you the Reference Number. If you havent got your cheque till now, you can use this number to track your Cheque on Bluedart's site PI date differs from the date Bluedart’s picks up your cheque. It could be two working days after your PI date so do not count from PI date.


BLUE DART - Considered among the best delivery logistic solution providers in INDIA, Google has given a lot to cheer to Indian Adsense account holders by using BlueDart to send cheques for FREE. There is no
charge to be paid to Google. Compare that with the $25 that was being charged for a Secured express delivery till recently. If you do not get your cheque weeks after your PI date, call up Bluedart and give them
your Reference number. They might have your cheque at their office. This could be because they do not Re-try after trying to deliver once. If the courier guy could not locate your address, he does not re-try the next day and simply deposits your cheque in your local  Bluedart branch, which you will have to collect personally.

Some people suggest that the Payment number ( reached after clicking on PI link) can be used as waybill no or reference no  on Bluedart's site to track your cheque mail. This is completely untrue and the payment number cannot be used  on Bluedart's site in any way. You just have to wait  for the Bluedart tracking code to appear on your account.


Why no Western Union option for Adsense payments in India?

Sadly, due to high Adsense Fraud activity in India, WU has not been added as an option. Only if Google sees the fraud activity at an acceptable level, Western Union will be added, not before.


Adsense Payment Calender

Suppose your Adsense earnings reached $100 or more in January. PIP should be seen  before Feb 20th and PI link should appear before 5th of Mar and you should have your cheque before March end.
