How do you pay the PMI fee from India?
Pay on PMI.org in rupees with an Indian debit or credit card that has online payments turned on. Because your India-registered account is charged in rupees with GST, you avoid the exchange-rate risk that candidates in most other countries face. Check the amount and GST line at checkout before you pay.
If your employer is paying, ask whether they want to pay PMI directly or reimburse you, and keep the PMI receipt for your claim.
