F1 Visa Monetization Rules

Summary

F1 students in the U.S. Are restricted from off-campus work without authorization. Monetizing content, even if funds are sent to an Indian bank account, is considered unauthorized work and can jeopardize visa status. On-campus work is allowed, but off-campus work requires OPT or CPT authorization. Consider applying for these programs to pursue monetization legally.

what if i have the money sent to my indian bank account
Monetizing content and having the money sent to an Indian bank account still counts as unauthorized work under F1 visa rules. The location where the money is sent does not change the fact that you are working without authorization. This could still jeopardize your visa status.
Have you looked into applying for CPT or OPT to legally pursue this opportunity?
