💡 About this corridor

Why people convert INR to NPR.

The INR/NPR corridor is driven mostly by India inbound remittances and NRI banking. On the Nepali Rupee side, demand comes from Nepal remittances, Gulf worker transfers, and tourism. Because both sides see steady two-way flow, INR/NPR is one of the more liquid pairs in this region — which usually means tighter spreads and smaller markups than thinly-traded exotic pairs.

Over the past 12 months the Indian Rupee has moved down 0.0% against the Nepali Rupee, and over five years it has weakened about 0.0% (from 1.6 to 1.6). If you're sending money on this corridor, that trend matters: a falling rate means timing your transfer — or locking a rate with a forward contract for large amounts — can change the Nepali Rupee you receive by a meaningful margin.

Getting the best INR → NPR rate. The figure above is the mid-market rate — the "true" rate banks and brokers reference. Most banks add a 1–3% margin on top and may charge a flat wire fee. Specialist services (Wise, Remitly, and regional exchange houses on this corridor) typically convert closer to mid-market. Always compare the effective rate after all fees, not just the headline rate — on a large INR transfer, a 2% difference is real money.

❓ FAQ

INR to NPR FAQ.

Why is INR-NPR pegged at exactly 1.6?
Nepal Rastra Bank pegged NPR to INR at 1.6 in 1993, supported by ongoing INR reserves and the deep India-Nepal trade integration. The peg has held for 30+ years through multiple regional stresses. Reasons for peg success: (1) Nepal's economy is heavily dependent on India for trade and remittances, (2) the peg simplifies India-Nepal commerce, (3) NRB holds substantial INR reserves alongside USD reserves. Treat INR-NPR as effectively a fixed 1.6:1 conversion for all practical purposes.
Cross-border travel — INR usage in Nepal?
Indian Rupees are widely accepted in Nepal (especially in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and border districts) at the 1.6 NPR conversion. Indian tourists routinely use INR cash and Indian credit cards in Nepal. Nepal Rastra Bank notes that Indians can carry INR notes up to ₹25,000 to Nepal without declaration. ₹500 and ₹2,000 notes were prohibited in Nepal in 2018-2023 for monetary policy reasons but ₹100, ₹200, ₹500, and ₹2,000 notes are now generally accepted as of 2026.
Sending INR to Nepal — best methods?
For amounts under ₹1 lakh: Western Union, Prabhu Money Transfer, IME, and Wise (now supported in Nepal) offer competitive rates with delivery to NIC Asia Bank, Nabil Bank, or Standard Chartered Nepal in minutes. For larger amounts: SBI Nepal (joint venture between SBI and Nepali partners) and HDFC Bank correspondent banking offer corporate-tier rates. The fixed 1.6 peg means timing currency is irrelevant — only fees and convenience matter.
