❓ FAQ
INR to USD FAQ.
What is the LRS limit for INR-to-USD conversion?
Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) allows Indian residents to remit up to $250,000 per financial year (April-March) outward for permitted purposes: education, medical treatment, travel, gifts to relatives, foreign investments, property purchase. TCS (Tax Collected at Source) applies at 20% above ₹7 lakh per FY since October 2023, except for education/medical (5% above ₹7L).
Cheapest INR-to-USD conversion in 2026?
Wise: cheapest for amounts under $10K, 0.4% from mid-market. ICICI / HDFC / Axis e-Forex: competitive for amounts above $5K. Indian banks must report all LRS transactions to RBI, so all formal channels are tracked. The black market exists but is illegal and decreasing in size due to digital payment trail.
When is INR-to-USD conversion best done?
For planned purposes (annual student fees, scheduled property purchases): break the conversion into 2-4 tranches across the FY to dollar-cost average. For ad-hoc transfers: rate volatility is low enough that timing rarely beats execution discipline. Avoid converting just before major US event risk (Fed meetings, election windows).
