Is it possible to change payee name in Google adsense for Indian Publishers

Introduction about EFT

The answer for the title is YES. Recently Google introduced the EFT for Indian adsense publishers in the month of March 2014. Every adsense holders in India should be happy with this news. Many of them have already opted for Beta test and got succeeded in receiving the adsense payment from Google. As of today, Google has completely stopped the adsense cheque instructing them to change to new form of this EFT payment.


What you need to use EFT payment

All you need is a bank account that has SWIFT facility. That is, the facility to do foreign transaction. Ask your branch of bank or head office of your bank to know the availability of this facility. If not, switch over to another bank which has this facility. SBI is the best in receiving this EFT payment from Google as per the user's experience. On the other hand, if your bank does not have this facility, you can even use your family member or relative account to receive the payment. Thus you can change your payee name to the name of the other's account.
