Ranked by INR received on SGD 6,400. Reference rate: European Central Bank data for 13 November 2026.

Intermediary bank charges are excluded. See the methodology.
Why does your bank give you less than the SGD to INR rate on Google?
Your bank gives you less than the SGD to INR rate on Google because a bank converts export receipts at its own buying rate, which sits below the market or reference rate, and may add a fee. The gap is the conversion markup, and it is usually not shown as a separate charge.
For example, on SGD 6,400 at today's reference rate of ₹73.1649, a 2% markup means you receive about ₹4,58,890 instead of ₹4,68,255, a difference of ₹9,365 before any fee. To find the markup you actually paid, compare the rate on your FIRA with the reference rate for that day using the FX markup calculator.
What moves the SGD to INR rate?
The SGD to INR rate moves with the supply of and demand for each currency. The usual drivers are:
- Interest rates: a change in interest rates in either economy can shift money towards the currency paying more.
- Trade and capital flows: India's imports, exports and foreign investment flows change how many rupees are bought and sold.
- RBI action: the Reserve Bank of India buys and sells foreign currency in the market, which can slow sharp moves in the rupee.
- Risk sentiment: in uncertain periods, investors often move money into currencies they see as safer.
No one can reliably predict the next move, so plan conversions around your cash needs rather than forecasts.
When should exporters convert SGD to INR?
Exporters should convert SGD to INR when they need the rupees, within the FEMA realisation limit of nine months from the date of export for services.2 The main options are:
- Spot: convert on receipt at the rate your bank or provider offers that day.
- Forward contract: fix a rate with your bank today for a future date. The RBI permits small exporters to hedge with bank forwards, swaps and purchased European options.3
- Limit order: some providers let you set a target rate and convert automatically when the market reaches it. Check whether your provider offers this.
- EEFC holding: a resident can keep up to 100% of foreign exchange earnings in an Exchange Earner's Foreign Currency account, but the month's accruals must be converted to rupees by the last day of the following month, after approved uses.4
How do you get the best SGD to INR rate?
- Compare the total cost: add the fee, the conversion markup and GST on fees, not just the headline fee. The platform cost comparison does this for you.
- Ask for local payment: a client paying into local SGD account details usually avoids SWIFT charges taken by intermediary banks.
- Check your FIRA: the rate on your FIRA shows what you were actually given. Compare it with the reference rate for that day.
- Negotiate at volume: banks often price conversion by amount, so ask your relationship manager for a better rate on large receipts.

FAQs
Is the SGD to INR reference rate the rate my bank will give me?+
No. The SGD to INR reference rate is a benchmark. Banks convert export receipts at their own buying rate (often called the TT buying rate), and payment platforms apply their own conversion price, so you receive fewer rupees than the reference rate suggests.
How often does the SGD to INR rate on this page update?+
The European Central Bank publishes reference rates once each working day at around 16:00 Central European Time. This page checks for new data every hour and always shows the date of the rate it displays.
Which SGD to INR rate decides the rupees I actually earned?+
The rate applied on the day your SGD is converted decides the rupees you earned. Your FIRA or bank advice shows that rate. A chartered accountant can tell you which date's rate to use for GST returns and income tax records.
Do I need to convert a SGD invoice to INR before sending it?+
No. A SGD export invoice is raised in SGD, so no conversion is needed to issue it. The conversion happens when the money is received and converted by your bank or payment provider.
How long can an exporter wait before receiving SGD for an invoice?+
Under the FEMA export regulations, the full value of an export of services must be realised and repatriated to India within nine months of the date of export, or 12 months where the invoice is in INR, unless the RBI or your bank extends the period.
Why does the SGD to INR rate on Google differ from this page?+
Google and other sites show their own data feeds, often market rates that change through the day. This page shows the ECB reference rate published once a working day, so the two can differ slightly. Neither is the rate your bank or provider applies.
