For Indian buyers it bills in INR, does not issue a GST invoice and accepts UPI / RuPay. On the AIproducts.in India-readiness checklist it scores 3/7. Indian languages with first-class support: Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi. Editors last reviewed this listing on 2026-09-12.

India-readiness

The score above (out of 7) covers these 7 checks; DPDP Act posture is tracked separately below and isn’t counted toward it.

Anthropic added rupee pricing for India in July 2026 (Pro ~₹2,000-2,399/month) with GST included in the displayed price, ending the old forex-plus-reverse-charge setup. Payment is by card or app-store billing only — no UPI yet — and the price shown is a GST-inclusive consumer price, not a confirmed GSTIN-attached invoice for input tax credit.
