Hi Venka, [Putting the PSC in CC as this is an important question.]
We have a bank account (in €) in a Belgian bank. So bank transfer is another option, but I'm not sure how feasible this is from Asia. This might be something to raise with OSGeo: creating a worldwide system for collecting sponsorship money that sponsors can dedicate to specific projects. Not sure that the relatively small amounts we collect for GRASS GIS warrant the establishment of such a system only for us. Best wishes, Moritz Am 5.
