"The TT buying rate on the Rule 115 specified date (Rule 206 under the new Income-tax Act, 2025) — not the day you were paid, and never a Google rate — is the figure that goes into your return." — CA Juber Attar, TaxFetch e-CA Tax Expert
For taxpayers converting foreign income to report in their income-tax return, today's firmer rupee rates mean slightly higher rupee equivalents across most currencies. Rule 115 of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (carried forward as Rule 206 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from FY 2026-27) prescribes the specified-date SBI TT buying rate for conversion, ensuring a uniform, non-negotiable reference for all assessees. Using today's rates, remittances in euro, pound sterling, Swiss franc, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Singapore dollar, dirham and riyal also fetch marginally more rupees compared to yesterday.

What is SBI’s TT buying rate for USD today?
SBI's telegraphic transfer buying rate for the US dollar on 8 September 2026 is 94.20 rupees per unit.
Why does my ITR need the SBI TT buying rate and not a Google rate?
Rule 115 and Rule 26 of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (carried forward as Rule 206 and Rule 207 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from FY 2026-27) mandate use of SBI's TT buying rate, not interbank or online search-engine rates, to ensure a single official reference for all foreign-income conversions. This removes ambiguity and prevents taxpayers from choosing favourable rates arbitrarily.
Which date’s rate should I actually use?
Rule 115 fixes a specified date per income type — and the same specified dates carry forward as Rule 206 of the Income-tax Rules, 2026 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 (income of FY 2026-27 onward). In short: FY 2025-26 and earlier returns cite Rule 115; FY 2026-27 onward cite Rule 206 — the rate itself is SBI’s TT buying rate either way. Per income type — for foreign salary and RSU/ESOP perquisites it is the last day of the month before the month the income fell due; for capital gains, the last day of the month before the month of transfer; Schedule FA closing balances take the 31 December rate. Our free SBI TTBR lookup tool works the date rule out for you, steps back to the last published card when SBI issued none, and shows the archive back to January 2020 with every original PDF.
