Here Are My Legit Top 12 Survey Sites For India…
If you’re looking for the best survey sites in India, that actually pay, here are some options for you.
Where you are in the world, can really effect what opportunities are available to you.
This is certainly the case with survey sites.
Many sites may still allow you to sign up to them, (from anywhere in the World) and yet many of them may not have any opportunities available.
I get many messages from people asking me about Survey Sites that allow you to sign up from India.
This used to be a lot harder, some of the big survey sites do make the effort to create more opportunities for those in India now.
Some of these sites are still going to be frustrating in that, you may get chucked off surveys for not qualifying, (this happens with many sites anyway!).
Most survey sites tend to get mixed reviews from people and that is usually because, surveys can be difficult at times to quality for and it can often take a long time to reach the payout threshold.
However, I have included some there on the list, where the payout thresholds are not high and you’ll be able to withdraw some of your money pretty quickly.
All of these sites on the list, are legitimate survey sites that do allow citizens from India to join.
Some of these sites may have more limited opportunities in India, in comparison to other countries.
Just bear in mind – these are “EXTRA…” income opportunities, they are not a way to make a full-time, (or even a part-time) income online.
If you come across any website telling you that you can make thousands of dollars a month from online surveys, they’re a scam.
To increase your earning potential, sign up to several sites and see what is available.
Thankfully, they’re all free to join…
So, you can just keep going until you find something that you like.
How Can You Make Money With These Sites?
Many sites below have more than one way to earn… Not just surveys!
Generally, I prefer sites that have a variety of ways to make money, because it usually means that you can reach the payout threshold more quickly.
Some ways that you can make money will include:
- Surveys, (obviously the standard paid survey!)
- Offers, (both free and paid… this usually includes things like joining up for free trials, or joining other websites – such as other survey panels.
- Cashback, (sometimes sites will offer cashback and deals)
- Mini Polls, (some survey sites offer a small amount for completing mini polls).
- Playing games,
- Watching videos,
- Mini tasks,
Lastly, don’t forget about referral programs. Many survey panels will reward you for recommending other people to sign up.
The most common payout options include a variety of gift cards and PayPal.
Some platforms will include alternative options, like bank transfer, Payoneer, or Skrill.
When it comes to payout thresholds, every site is different.
Some platforms payout from anything as low as $1 – whereas, others you may have to wait until you reach $25 or more.

Swagbucks – My #1 Recommendation
This is a site that I continue to use today and have accumulated plenty of gift cards.
You can earn from a variety of ways, including cashback offers, paid/free offers, surveys, games, earning points by surfing the web.
Plus Points:
- Variety of payout options.
- $1 payout threshold for gift cards.
- Many ways to earn.
- Get-paid-to-search.
- Easy to download handy browser extension.
I believe you’ll need to earn $25 if you want to withdraw via PayPal, but you can cashout from only $1 if you want a gift card.
All in all, a fun and useful site. Definitely worth having the browser extension set up if you’re on Google Chrome, (it alerts you to cashback offers and extra bonus Swagbucks!).

PrizeRebel:
PrizeRebel is similar in nature to Swagbucks, with various ways to earn including surveys, offers and contests.
I really like PrizeRebel, but I am in the UK!
I believe that actual surveys you can qualify for in India are still going to be few and far between.
So, it may be worth checking out some of the other options there.
They also have a more generous referral program than many survey sites, so you could earn a bit more by inviting your friends and family.

Another site that gets mixed reviews… some saying it’s a con, others saying it’s the best.
