If you are travelling to USA, you must carry your major part of currency in a forex card. Forex cards are considered the safest way to carry foreign currency. They are just like prepaid VISA/Mastercard cards which can contain a single currency or even multiple currencies in case you are looking to travel to some other country other than the US.

It's advised to carry 70% of your total amount in a forex card and the rest 30% in cash which can be used to pay for small expenses. You should also carry a spare forex card in case you lose one somehow.

BookMyForex also makes sure that the transfers get processed within the fastest time possible. All the international money transfers are processed within 24 working hours after receipt of the funds & documents. The funds will be received by the beneficiary abroad within 24 hours at no extra cost.

It's worth noting sometimes the beneficiary's bank may charge a cross-border fee so the person you are sending money to, it's always a good idea to confirm with the beneficiary's bank. At BookMyForex, we like to keep full transparency at every step so you pay what you see on the screen.

The right time to buy USD in India would be when it’s sliding downwards and becoming comparatively weaker to Indian Rupee. For example, 1 USD was equivalent to 77.20 in April 2020. That was the highest US Dollar ever reached in history. RBI took proactive steps and now 1 USD = 72.90 INR. If you purchase 1 USD today, you would have to shell out INR 72.90 in comparison to 77.20 in April 2020.

Note: We’d highly recommend you not to time the currency markets if you do not know much knowledge. At BookMyForex, we provide you to lock the currency rates for upto 3 days and you could use that feature if you think US Dollar value will rise in comparison to Indian Rupee.

The lowest ever USD to INR would be 1 USD = 3.30 INR in 1947 at the time of India’s independence. Essentially, history begins from the time the Bretton Woods agreement was passed in 1944. The value of every currency in the world was decided by this contract. During the time that India achieved independence, everyone slowly adapted to it.

The value of INR has steadily dropped since Independence in 1947. The ratio of INR to USD in 1913 should be 0.09 as per the modern metric system, and if we hold the 1 USD = 1 INR claim then the value went to 3.31 in 1948 and 3.67 in 1949, then INR was 7.50 to 1 USD by 1970.

The highest ever USD to INR conversion rate is 77.20 till date. 1 USD equalled 77.20 on 2 April 2020 when there was extreme fear around COVID-19 pandemic. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) then quickly took proactive measures and did not let Indian Rupee slide any further beyond.

If you fly on a regular basis, you're probably already aware that it can be terribly costly to exchange currency at the airport. Most people would know that if you are doing currency conversion at airports, you could end up paying upto 12% in the form of margins.

In other words, if you were to buy Rs. 2 lac (approx. 2740 USD) of foreign currency from an Indian airport, you will have to shell out about somewhere between 5%-12% markup on the exchange. You should rather choose BookMyForex for USD to INR conversion where you’d only have to pay 0.8%-1.5% on your forex conversion.

Some local money changers will quote you exceptionally good rates and shall give your door delivery too, but you should not trust them. The problem happens as the genuineness of currency is compromised and the hidden charges that they might demand later.

There are many fake notes in circulation, and there have been many stances of counterfeit notes being provided to the customers in exchange for USD. The hidden charges might come in the shape of inflated taxes which they shall not tell you while quoting rates or some use the terms like Bank fees or storage charges. At BookMyForex, the tax slabs are transparently displayed on the site.

We are present in more than 650 cities through partner locations and provide door delivery in more than 185 cities. So if you want the best rates and complete convenience in exchanging your USD, book your dollars here and relax.

If you are looking to remit money from India to the USA, you have arrived at the right place. There’s no minimum limit as such set on BookMyForex but you have to adhere to the maximum limit of USD 250,000 which is also the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) annual limit set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Within a financial year, an individual who is an Indian resident cannot cross the set limit.
