What this does

The tool converts between rupees and pounds, euros or dollars on a specific past date, in both directions. Enter ₹10,000 on 10 August and you get the pound figure, the rate behind it and the day on which that rate was published.

Rates come from the European Central Bank. They are published, dated and citable, though they are not rates anyone must trade at. The pound and dollar figures are derived through the euro. The tool covers the last twelve months, which takes in a current tax year, a recent claim or a transfer from a few months ago. The ECB’s own series runs back to 1999 if you need an older date.

Why the date matters

The rupee moves. In the twelve months to 2 October 2026 it weakened by about 6% against the pound and about 9% against the dollar. A transaction from last autumn converted at today’s rate is out by several percent. That is invisible on a taxi fare and obvious on a property sale or a large reimbursement.

Using the wrong date is also the kind of error a reviewer spots at once, and it casts doubt on figures that were right.

When to use it

  • Reconstructing a past amount. You paid a bill in rupees months ago and need the pound or dollar value for an expense claim, a tax return or a record.
  • Reporting foreign income or gains. Some tax authorities accept a daily or monthly published rate, and a dated source lets you show how you reached the figure. The DTAA estimator shows how the same income is treated in different countries.
  • Checking a statement. Compare what a provider gave you with the mid-market rate on the day, to see the spread you paid.

For money you are about to send rather than money already spent, use the INR converter, which compares providers on what your recipient receives. The repatriation calculator covers moving money out of India, and the NRI tax guides explain which exchange rate each tax authority accepts.

These are reference rates, not official rates and not dealing rates: a bank or transfer service adds a margin, so this is not what you would have been given on the day. If you are recording what a transfer actually cost and you have a statement, use the statement. Use these when there is no statement to point at, and apply the same basis consistently.

Common questions

The European Central Bank’s euro foreign exchange reference rates, published each working day and kept permanently. They are reference rates, not rates anyone must transact at, and the ECB says so itself. What they offer is a dated, public figure you can point an accountant, employer or tax authority to, and they can find the same number. That is why this tool does not use a commercial rate feed.
The ECB publishes only on its working days. Weekends and TARGET holidays have no rate, so 8 and 9 August 2026, a Saturday and a Sunday, have none. For those dates the tool uses the nearest preceding published day and says so on screen. Using the previous day is the standard treatment. A later day is not, because that rate did not exist when your transaction happened.
The euro rate is published directly. The pound and dollar rates are derived through the euro rather than quoted against the rupee at source. This is ordinary practice, and the arithmetic is exact. The tool labels both as derived so you can say so if asked.
No. These are mid-market reference rates before anyone’s margin. A bank or transfer service adds a spread, so the rate you received was worse, sometimes by several percent. If you are recording what a transfer cost and have a statement, use the statement. Use these rates when there is no statement to point to. To see what the spread costs on a transfer you are about to make, the INR converter compares providers.
Pick one basis, either a daily rate like this or your tax authority’s published monthly rate, and use it consistently all year. Consistency is what gets tested. If you paid from an NRO account and the company is reimbursing you, take the money in the foreign currency to your account abroad rather than as rupees into the NRO. Rupees paid into an NRO account become subject to the annual repatriation limit and its paperwork.

Every rate and threshold here is sourced, dated and shown on the page — but tax rules change, and we would rather be told than be wrong. Reports go to the team that maintains the tool. If you can point at the official source, that gets it fixed fastest.
