Looks as if you have opened a U.S business paypal account instead of one for your own country?
Go to the settings/profile options and check what NATIONALITY is showing on the left side of that page, is it for your country or not?
When you click to register a paypal account there is a drop down list of countries with U.S being the default top option as Paypal is a U.S company.
You then have to scroll down and click on your own country to open the correct Paypal account for that country.
You can't use another countries Paypal account as it would never work properly and may be limited.
If you have opened a U.S paypal account by mistake then you need to remove anything you have added and close it (if you can) and then open one for the correct country you are in.
Paypal is country specific and differs a lot country to country.

I am not getting any option as you can check in the image. I am creating an account. I want to proceed with India. But failed to do it. I think it's an glitch. I have not provided any details yet so, In my profile settings there's nothing about my nationality. I am completely a new user.

That is because you have already opened the account.
You need to click on the drop down box when you click to register.

When I signup then, there's no option to select country. I entered my first name, email and password. Please share the screenshot where do I have to click to get options in the drop down menu.

Not rocket science just checked it. I just logged out > put paypal into google and then clicked on register > on the screen where you put your email address there is a country flag, click on it and scroll down to your country.
