Today's forwards · dealer quote vs FBIL benchmark

Dealer quotes are live; the FBIL official curve runs on a 9-day public-mirror delay. The gap (bps) tells you how much tighter or wider the dealer is than the most recent published benchmark — useful context when you're about to execute.

Dealer figures are representative card-rate quotes from one liquidity provider — executable rates may differ. FBIL forward premia (Financial Benchmarks India) are the RBI-recognised reference curve, published with a public-mirror lag. Forward rate ≈ spot × (1 + ARR% × tenor in months / 12).

Frequently asked

PSU treasuries are oriented toward corporate / wholesale flows; private banks prioritise retail channel breadth, which carries different cost. Either way, the card rate is the upper bound, treasury desks of both cohorts compress further for sized tickets.
Most private banks refresh multiple times per business day; some public-sector banks refresh once. Asymmetric refresh creates intraday windows where the cohort ranking shifts.
TT (wire) is the tightest channel, no physical inventory. Bills involve trade documents. Travel cards carry prepaid-product risk. Currency notes carry physical inventory + cash-handling cost, so the spread is widest. Same bank, four prices.
Close but not identical. RBI publishes daily reference rates (~12:30 IST) for major pairs based on its survey of authorised dealers. Mid-market is the global interbank midpoint, available continuously. For FEMA / LRS / TCS filings, the RBI reference is authoritative.
Yes. Treasury desks have explicit authority to compress published card-rate spreads on sized tickets, typically $25k+ on a single TT, lower if it's a recurring monthly flow. The card rate is the upper bound. The lever is comparison.
