"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
Revised card: SBI reissued its rate card later on 21 September 2026; the figures below reflect the latest card of the day.
For taxpayers converting foreign income to rupees when preparing their income-tax return, today's dip in the USD rate means marginally lower rupee equivalents if 21 September 2026 is the relevant specified date under Rule 115 (carried forward as Rule 206 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from FY 2026-27). Other major currencies also softened—EUR fell from 108.90 to 108.55, GBP from 127.14 to 126.74, and SAR from 24.71 to 24.28—while JPY eased from 60.52 to 60.35 (per 100 units). Using the correct SBI TT buying rate for the transaction date or due date ensures compliance with the prescribed conversion method for ITR filings.

What is SBI’s TT buying rate for USD today?
SBI's TT buying rate for USD on 21 September 2026 is 95.35 rupees per US dollar. This is the rate you should use if 21 September 2026 is the relevant specified date for converting your dollar income or receipts in your income-tax return.
Why does my ITR need the SBI TT buying rate and not a Google rate?
Rule 115 (and Rule 26 for certain other purposes) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962—carried forward as Rule 206 and Rule 207 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from FY 2026-27—prescribe the SBI telegraphic transfer buying rate as the official conversion rate, not market or Google rates. Using SBI's TT buying rate ensures your foreign-income conversion matches the method recognised by the Income-tax Department and avoids mismatches during assessment.
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.
