About the British pound and the Indian rupee

The pound sterling (GBP) is issued by the Bank of England and is the oldest currency still in use. It is also one of the highest-valued major currencies, which is why one pound is worth well over a hundred rupees.

GBP to INR is derived from the pound–dollar rate, known in the market as “cable”, and the dollar–rupee rate. UK inflation data, Bank of England decisions and government budget news can all move the pound sharply.

What moves the GBP to INR rate?

• Bank of England decisions: interest rate changes and inflation forecasts shift demand for sterling.
• UK economic data: growth, wages and inflation figures often cause quick moves in the pound.
• The dollar–rupee rate: a weaker rupee against the dollar normally lifts GBP/INR as well.
• Global risk appetite: sterling tends to fall when investors become cautious.

Sending money between the UK and India

The UK is home to a large Indian diaspora and is one of the most popular destinations for Indian students. Families send pounds to India, while parents in India buy pounds for tuition and living costs. Specialist transfer services often offer a GBP to INR rate closer to the mid-market rate than high-street banks, so it pays to compare.

Mid-market rate vs the rate you get

No bank or exchange company trades with customers at the exact mid-market rate. Each provider sets a buying rate and a selling rate around it and keeps the difference as its margin, sometimes with a separate transfer fee. The fairest way to compare services is to ask how much will arrive after every charge.
