No. They’re not going to pay you US wages and then let you work remotely in low CoL India. You will need to move ASAP. This should’ve been detailed in your interview and offer letter. I suggest you read it. If it’s not, highly recommend talking to the recruiter about expectations and timeline for your moving to the US. Chances are good they expect you in Seattle within a few weeks.

Can they pay Indian salary ?

You can certainly ask but the answer is probably no. They made you a US-based offer in US Dollars.

It’s illegal to do that. From tax perspective for company
