About the rupee to dollar rate

Converting rupees to dollars comes up for outward remittances — students paying overseas tuition, families supporting relatives abroad, and residents investing internationally under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. It is also the calculation behind any dollar-denominated subscription or cloud bill you settle from an Indian account.

Outward conversion carries costs inward transfers do not. Alongside the exchange margin, Indian outward remittances attract Tax Collected at Source above annual thresholds, and banks levy their own charges. Budget for the total landed cost, not just the rate shown here.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rupee to dollar rate today?

The live mid-market rate is shown in the converter above and refreshes daily. Mid-market is the midpoint of the interbank market — the rate banks quote each other — so it is the benchmark to compare offers against rather than the rate you will personally receive.

Why does my bank give a worse INR to USD rate?

Retail providers add a margin to the mid-market rate, typically 1–4% for a bank transfer and 0.5–2% on a card, sometimes with a fixed fee on top. That spread is where most of their revenue on a conversion comes from, which is why a "zero fee" offer can still be the more expensive one.

How do I convert USD back to INR?

Use the swap button in the converter, or go to the dedicated Dollar to Rupee page. The reverse rate is also shown directly beneath the result.

How often is this rate updated?

The providers refresh roughly once a day, and the exact timestamp is shown under the converter. That is appropriate for budgeting and comparing offers, but it is not a live trading feed.

Is there a limit on sending rupees out of India?

Yes. India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme caps how much a resident individual may remit abroad per financial year, covering travel, education, investment and gifts together. Your bank applies this limit and will ask what the transfer is for, so the purpose you declare matters.

Why is the outbound rate worse than the inbound one?

Sending rupees out involves more paperwork and fewer competing providers than the heavily contested inbound remittance market. Less competition and higher compliance cost both show up in the spread you are quoted.
