About Nepal Forex Rates
Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), Nepal's central bank, publishes daily reference exchange rates used by all commercial banks and money-changers across Nepal. The Nepali Rupee (NPR) is pegged to the Indian Rupee at a fixed rate of 1 INR = 1.60 NPR, while other currencies float against the USD-INR cross rate.
For official rate bulletins, visit nrb.org.np. Commercial banks typically add a spread of NPR 0.25–1.00 over NRB rates for retail forex transactions and remittances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1
What is the USD to NPR rate today?
1 US Dollar = NPR 148.67 (NRB sell rate) on 13 Apr 2026. The buy rate is NPR 148.07. Commercial banks typically quote a slightly higher sell rate for customers.
Q2
Why is 1 INR fixed at 1.60 NPR?
Nepal has maintained a fixed peg of 1 Indian Rupee = 1.60 Nepali Rupee since 1993. NRB defends this peg through foreign-exchange market operations, ensuring predictable trade and remittance flows between the two countries.
Q3
Who sets the exchange rate in Nepal?
Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the central bank, publishes official reference rates daily. Commercial banks set their own buy/sell rates within NRB's band, typically adding a 0.25–1.00 NPR spread for retail customers.
Q4
How do banks calculate their forex rates?
Banks start with NRB reference rates, then add a margin to cover operational costs and currency risk. Buy rate is what the bank pays you for foreign currency; sell rate is what you pay the bank to get foreign currency.
Q5
Are these rates used for remittances?
Yes. Remittance companies like IME, Western Union, and Prabhu Money Transfer reference NRB rates when converting inbound remittances to NPR. Their quoted rate usually deducts a small spread as service fee.
Q6
Do forex rates change on weekends?
NRB publishes rates only on working days (Sunday–Friday in Nepal). Saturday and public-holiday rates carry forward from the most recent working day. This page mirrors NRB's weekly publishing schedule.
