Additionally, commercial banks in the country may quote slightly different rates for currency exchange services.

Indian Rupee and Exchange Rate Flexibility

NRB has emphasized that these exchange rates may be updated or revised at any time as needed. The official rates serve as a benchmark for commercial banks and currency exchange service providers across Nepal. However, the actual exchange rates offered by commercial banks might differ slightly based on their own currency reserves and operational costs. All updated exchange rates are publicly available on the Nepal Rastra Bank’s official website, which stakeholders are encouraged to consult regularly for the most accurate and current data.
