Why Do Exchange Rates Change?
Currency exchange rates fluctuate every second based on global supply and demand. When India's exports rise, foreign buyers need more rupees, increasing the rupee's demand and value. When India imports more (like crude oil), it sells more rupees to buy dollars, weakening the rupee. Other factors include RBI monetary policy, inflation differentials, foreign investment flows, geopolitical events, and US Federal Reserve decisions.

Tips for Currency Exchange
Travel Currency
Avoid airport currency counters — they offer the worst rates (5–8% worse than interbank rates). Use forex cards loaded before travel or withdraw from ATMs abroad with a zero-forex bank account.
International Transfers
For sending money abroad, compare Wise, Remitly, and bank wire transfers. Wise typically offers rates closest to the mid-market rate with transparent fees.
Online Shopping
When paying on international sites, always choose to pay in the merchant's local currency, not INR. Dynamic Currency Conversion by the merchant adds a hidden 3–5% markup.
LRS Limit
Under RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), individuals can remit up to USD 2,50,000 per year for permitted purposes including education, travel, and investments abroad.
