About the dollar to rupee rate

The dollar-rupee rate is the most watched exchange rate in India, and for good reason: it prices everything from IT services exports and freelance invoices to the remittances sent home by the Indian diaspora, which is the largest in the world. When people say 'the rupee is falling', they almost always mean against the dollar.

The figure here is the mid-market rate — the midpoint of the interbank market. It is the honest benchmark, but nobody sells dollars to you at it. A bank wire typically lands 1.5–3% below, and airport counters far worse, so treat this as the ceiling on what you should expect rather than the amount you will receive.

Frequently asked questions

What is the dollar to rupee 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 USD to INR 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 INR back to USD?

Use the swap button in the converter, or go to the dedicated Rupee to Dollar 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.

Does the dollar-rupee rate move much day to day?

Both currencies float, though the Reserve Bank of India intervenes to smooth sharp swings rather than to hold a level. Day-to-day movement is usually small; the meaningful changes show up over weeks, which is why watching the rate for a few days before a large transfer tells you more than watching it for a few hours.

Is there a limit on sending dollars to India?

Money coming into India from abroad is not capped. Limits apply in the other direction, under India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, so inbound transfers are constrained by your sending provider's own rules rather than by Indian regulation.
