Fifteen currencies against the rupee, each with its 30-day low and high, so a rate reads as unusual or ordinary rather than merely current. These are mid-market rates. Every bank, card and transfer service prices off them and keeps a margin. Where the RBI publishes an official reference rate, it sits beside the market one. To convert a specific amount at these rates, use the currency converter; the rupee’s most-watched pair has a board of its own at USD to INR rate today.

What to know
A rate on its own tells you very little. A rate with a month of range around it tells you far more. It shows whether the market moved, or whether you just looked on a different day. So every row here carries a 30-day low and high. If today sits mid-band, nothing has happened. If it sits at the edge, something has. Almost no converter shows you this.
The RBI publishes an official rate for only a handful of currencies. Those rows show both figures. The official rate is the one Indian rules cite for valuation and reporting. The mid-market rate is what the market is doing now. Most currencies here have no Indian official rate at all. Where both exist, the gap is normally small. We state it rather than pick one and hide the other.
These figures come from central banks, not from a data reseller. The mid-market rates are the European Central Bank’s daily reference rates. The official Indian rates come from the RBI. That matters here. The cheap end of the currency-data market is full of feeds with no clear source and no fixed schedule. When a central bank is the source, you can go and check the number yourself, on the date shown. Every figure on this site carries that date and a confidence marker for the same reason, which our rating and sourcing methodology sets out in full.
Frequently asked questions
How often does this board update?
Every working day. The European Central Bank publishes its rates once each business day. The RBI publishes its own at 1.00pm. Neither publishes on a weekend or a holiday. So a Saturday reading shows Friday’s figures. The date sits on the data, so you never have to guess which day you are looking at.
Why do some currencies have no official Indian rate?
The RBI publishes a rate for a small set of currencies only. They are the ones that matter most to Indian trade and remittance. For the rest there is no official Indian number, so the market rate is the reference. That is not a hole in the data. It just reflects which currencies Indian rules need a daily figure for.
Can I transact at these rates?
No, and nor can anyone else. These are wholesale rates between banks. Every retail provider prices off them and keeps a margin. That goes for banks, cards, money transfer services and money changers alike. Use the board as a measuring stick. Take your quote, compare it against the rate here, and you know what the service costs you.
