It appears there might be a misunderstanding in the request. "CIH" is not a widely recognized or standard abbreviation for a financial institution. It's possible it refers to a smaller, regional bank or a typo. Similarly, direct bank-to-PayPal transfers are not a universal feature offered by all banks.
However, I can provide you with a comprehensive guide on the general methods you can use to potentially send money from a bank account (assuming "CIH" is your bank) to PayPal, along with steps and considerations. Please note that the exact steps might vary depending on your specific bank's online banking platform and PayPal's policies in your region (India).
Let's begin!

- What is the full name of the bank you are referring to as "CIH"? Knowing the full name will help in finding specific instructions or if it has any direct integration with PayPal.
- Do you have online banking access for your "CIH" account? Most of these methods rely on having online access to your bank account.
- Are you trying to send money to your own PayPal account or someone else's? This can sometimes affect the available options.
Once you provide this information, I can tailor the steps more accurately. In the meantime, here are the general methods you can explore:
