Currency Converter

A ₹10,000 transfer is only meaningful once you know today’s rupees per dollar, euro, pound, dirham or Singapore dollar. IndiaKit pulls a live rate for this tool (see the privacy page for the feed) and divides your INR by that rate. It is a mid-market sketch, not a Western Union quote and not an RBI reference rate you can sue on.

A number you need in a queue

Importers in Tuticorin, students paying WES fees from Kochi, and families sending money to a child in Dubai all need a rupee-first converter. Card networks add spreads; TCS on foreign remittances under the Income-tax Act can apply above thresholds — none of that is auto-added here.

How the lookup or formula runs

Foreign amount ≈ INR ÷ units of INR per foreign unit, using the live rate supplied to the page. If the rate field is missing, the result is zero. The default amount is ₹10,000.

AED and SGD are included because Gulf and Singapore routes are common from Kerala, Hyderabad and Chennai, not because this is a licensed money-changer.

For shopping with a foreign-currency tag plus a fee, use the shopping currency tool. For a prose explainer on deals, see the currency-deals guide.

₹10,000 towards a US application fee

A student in Kochi has ₹10,000 set aside for a US university portal fee. She converts INR to USD on this page at the live mid-market rate shown, then compares with her card’s conversion preview. The card is worse by a few rupees per dollar, which is expected.

What we do not store

Not a money-changing licence. Spreads, TCS, GST on fees, and weekend FX gaps are omitted. RBI reference rates are published by the Reserve Bank; this page may use another public feed.

Common questions

Is this the RBI reference rate?

Not necessarily. The live feed is named on the privacy / tool page. For official reference rates see rbi.org.in. Banks will not honour this webpage as a contract rate.

Do you add TCS on foreign remittance?

No. TCS rules under the Income-tax Act have thresholds and exceptions (education, medical). Confirm on incometax.gov.in. This converter is FX only.

Why are only five currencies listed?

They cover the bulk of household questions from India. Adding dozens of exotic pairs would still not match a bank’s dealing room.
