The server response indicates the problem fairly clearly: PAYER_ACTION_REQUIRED / NO_VALID_FUNDING_INSTRUMENT / ADD_PAYMENT_CARD. Your code is working; the payment was refused on PayPal's end because the payer account is not able to pay. Fix your test payer account, or use another known-good payer account.

One additional caution: despite the messaging suggesting the solution is to add a card to the account, that may not be enough. PayPal has to live under a variety of international legal rules, and I think that India is one country in which PayPal and the government are not getting along very well:

... so that account with an address in Mumbai may be out of luck, and your test scenario would be considered a negative test case -- payment from Indian payer refused 'correctly' per PayPal policy & Indian law :(.
