How currency conversion works
Converted amount = amount × exchange rate. If the rate is 1 USD = X INR, then 250 USD = 250 × X INR, and to go back divide by X. Banks quote a buy and a sell rate with a spread, and card networks or remitters add markup, typically 1 to 4% over the mid-market rate, plus fixed fees. Rates move constantly. For actual transfers compare the final amount received, not just the headline rate. Remittances abroad from India fall under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, and tax collected at source (TCS) can apply above set limits, so check current rules.
Worked example
Illustration with a made-up rate: 1 USD = ₹88
| $250 | 250 × 88 = ₹22,000 |
| ₹22,000 | 22,000 ÷ 88 = $250 |
| Card fee 3% | about ₹660 extra on ₹22,000 |
Tips and common mistakes
- Compare the total received, not the rate alone.
- Avoid airport exchange counters.
- Pay in local currency when using cards abroad.
- Check the RBI reference rate for official guidance.
- Time large transfers for better rates only if you can afford the risk.
