Hi @SSr0203,
Welcome to our Community!
Unfortunately, we’ve had to stop allowing personal payments to be sent to and from India. Therefore, you only have option for commerical activity in the list of Purpose codes. You can offer your friend and family who wish to send money to India, we ask that you offer the option of using our Xoom service using the following link here.
Thanks
Martin
