How to convert USD to EUR from India

1. Check the day’s reference rate so you know the mid-market level.
2. Ask your bank or an authorised money changer for its USD-to-EUR or INR-to-EUR selling rate.
3. Work out the gap between that rate and the reference rate. The gap is the margin you pay.
4. Add any fixed fees, such as wire charges or forex card loading fees.
5. Deal only with RBI-authorised dealers or money changers, as FEMA requires.
6. If you pay by card abroad, choose to be charged in euros, not rupees or dollars, to avoid dynamic currency conversion.
7. Keep the transaction advice or receipt for your records.

If you are converting rupees, the dollar leg matters too. See our exchange rates today page for the rupee against major currencies.
