How the bands work

Tight

≤ 1.4%

Smallest gap between buy and sell.

Narrow

1.4 to 3.0%

Tighter than the cohort average.

Standard

3.0 to 4.4%

Around the cohort average.

Wide

Widest end of today's cohort.

USD/INR rates · frequently asked

Sort the table above by spread, the top row is today's tightest TT (wire) quote. The leader shifts day to day; today's snapshot is on this page. Whichever bank is on top, walk in and ask for treasury-desk pricing on your sized ticket, card rates are the upper bound, not the lower bound.
Each channel carries different operational cost. TT (wire) is the tightest because the bank doesn't hold USD inventory. Travel cards carry inventory risk; cash carries inventory + cash-handling risk. The cash spread can be several times the TT spread at the same bank.
The headline strip at the top of this page shows today's actual range across the cohort. Spreads on majors (USD, EUR, GBP, AED) follow tight bands; less-liquid currencies typically run wider.
No. For regulatory filings, FEMA 401, LRS declarations, TCS under Section 206C(1G), use the RBI reference rate, or the rate at which your bank actually executed your transaction. The rates here are indicative.
Card rates are the rack rate for tickets within the published band. Treasury desks negotiate for larger tickets; priority / wealth / corporate tiers compress further. The card rate is the upper bound on what you should pay. Always ask.
