It means from 1st of March 2011 people in India using PayPal for their transaction will not able to do transaction for more then $500 (USD) and if they need to transfer all their money from PayPal to their local bank account within 7 days. If you need to pay anything via PayPal you need to like your Credit Card with your PayPal account. This is done under the guideline of Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
So what you think about it? And I am searching for some alternative of PayPal so I can help you all, if you know any do let me know by commenting below.
