How to Get Best Exchange Rate in India

  • Forex cards (Niyo, HDFC Forex): Best for travel — lock in rate in advance
  • Wise (formerly TransferWise): Near mid-market rate for international transfers
  • Bank SWIFT transfer: 1-3% worse than mid-market but safe
  • Airport kiosk: Worst rate — avoid unless emergency
  • Western Union/MoneyGram: Convenient but high fees

TCS on Foreign Transactions

India's Tax Collected at Source (TCS) applies to foreign transactions:

  • Foreign remittance under LRS above Rs.7 lakh: 20% TCS (from Oct 2023)
  • TCS is not a loss — it is credited as advance tax and can be claimed in ITR
  • Travel/education remittances: 5% TCS above Rs.7 lakh
